Does your state have legal cannabis?

Kind of!  Medical Cannabis is legal in Indiana. However, only low THC products are allowed for limited and specified ailments. On March 21, 2018, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed Senate Enrolled Act 52, legalizing low-THC CBD derived from industrial hemp. The law allows any person to buy, sell, and possess CBD oil, as long as it meets certain labeling requirements and contains no more than 0.3 percent THC.

The law provides a much needed expansion to Indiana’s 2017 low-THC law for patients with seizure disorders, which only allowed CBD oil for epileptic patients while providing no way for them to purchase it. Still, the law provides no clarification on the legality of manufacturing CBD in Indiana. Neither recreational nor medicinal use is allowed. Products containing low THC hemp extract are excluded from the definition of a controlled substance, making these products legal.

There are initiatives underway to change the law in Indiana and at Medical Marijuana 411 we believe in the right to education. So we suggest starting your cannabis education certification with our Advanced CBD Certification or even check out our courses on FDA Approved Cannabinoid Medications.

It is important to remember that MM411, Inc is not advocating to break the law but believes that laws will change in Indiana and want to give those interested in the science behind the plant, the opportunity to learn more.

Although there are no state mandated certifications required in Indiana, Medical Marijuana 411 has developed a Indiana specific certification which includes key information about the Indiana Medical Marijuana legal framework. Indiana Medical Cannabis key historical moments in the legalization timeline are also included as part of the certification.
