Indiana House legislators gave initial approval to a bill aimed at redrawing the Indiana-Illinois border Wednesday, but the bill continues to open up a Pandora’s box of amendments — from marijuana
A cannabis compound called delta-8 is currently legal in Indiana. Both medical and recreational cannabis are prohibited, but hemp, cannabis with a delta-9 THC content of 0.3% or less on a dry weight basis, is fully legal. The phrasing “dry weight basis” is used as a loophole, as sellers can still include high amounts of delta-9 in their products.
Indiana lawmakers aim to establish a THC impairment threshold for drivers, but concerns remain about false positives and evidence admissibility.
