Even after years of debate and discourse, cannabis continues to be illegal in the US under federal law. The FDA still doesn\u2019t recognize medical marijuana as a medicine, despite its proven health benefits.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moreover, recreational marijuana<\/a> is currently legal in just 11 states. Indiana is not one of them.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at Indiana\u2019s marijuana laws.<\/p>\n

Marijuana possession laws in Indiana<\/h2>\n

Intentionally or knowingly possessing cannabis in Indiana is illegal. The exact sentence depends on the amount possessed and prior convictions, if any.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If the defendant possesses cannabis and has no prior convictions, the violation is classified as a Class B misdemeanor. Such an offense is punishable and can lead to the defendant ending up in jail for around 180 days. The act could result in a fine up to $1,000.<\/li>\n
  2. If the possession is less than 30 g and the defendant has a prior conviction, the punishable jail time could be as long as a year. In this case, the act is a Class A misdemeanor, and the fines could go up to $5,000.<\/li>\n
  3. If the defendant possesses over 30 g of cannabis and has a prior conviction, the act becomes a Level 6 felony. In this case, the fines could go up to $10,000 and, the jail time could be anything between six months and two and a half years.<\/li>\n
  4. If the defendant possesses any sort of CBD product with less than 0.3% THC, the act is not punishable by law.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Marijuana cultivation laws in Indiana<\/h2>\n

    As far as sales, manufacture, distribution, and cultivation of marijuana are concerned, CBD products with less than 0.3% THC are again exempted.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Just like the previous category, cultivating and selling up till 30 g of cannabis is a Class A misdemeanor. The designated fines are up to $5,000, and the defendant could be jailed for up to a year. Any subsequent violation could be a level 6 felony. For a level 6 felony, the defendant could be jailed for six months to two and a half years in prison, along with a fine of $10,000.<\/li>\n
    2. If the amount is anywhere between 30 g and ten pounds, the violation is again classified as a Level 6 felony. All subsequent violations are Level 5. The same goes for sale and distribution of any amount exceeding 10 pounds. Punishment for Level 5 felonies is one to six years behind bars and a fine up to $10,000.<\/li>\n
    3. Selling cannabis products to a minor is always a Level 5 felony.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
