Indiana would limit what qualifies as low THC hemp extract

Indiana would define which hemp extracts count as low THC. The definition covers hemp-derived extracts. It excludes smokable hemp and harvested female hemp flowers. THC and cannabinoids with similar effects, or marketed as having them, could total no more than 0.3% by dry weight and 0.4 milligrams in the retail container. The extract could contain no lab-made cannabinoids or other controlled drugs. The definition would take effect July 1, 2026, if the bill becomes law.

Certain manufacturers could keep making an older type of low THC hemp extract for distribution outside Indiana. Makers must have manufactured or processed this extract before January 1, 2026, and operated continuously since then. The older extract excludes smokable hemp and harvested female hemp flowers. Manufacturing would remain under the terms that applied on December 31, 2025. Out-of-state manufacturers, processors, distributors, or retailers must be allowed to receive the extract under their own laws. Distribution to someone in Indiana would be allowed only when required by law, such as for testing. These rules would take effect July 1, 2026, if the bill becomes law.

Indiana would restrict the sale or provision of THC products to minors and minors' possession, consumption, and transport of those products. These rules cover products containing THC, including products beyond hemp extracts. A person who gives or sells a THC product to a minor must act recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally to face a criminal charge under this rule. A minor must act knowingly to violate the possession or consumption rule. Transport is covered only on a public highway when no parent or guardian accompanies the minor. These rules would take effect July 1, 2026, if the bill becomes law.
