Indiana Bill Targets All Forms Of THC, Including Currently Legal Smoke Shop Products
The bill would have a large financial impact on hemp retailers and farmers
A version of THC has been legal in Indiana since 2018, but a new bill aims to change that.
Senate Bill 209, authored by Sen. Liz Brown, R-Fort Wayne, and Sen. Michael Young, R-Indianapolis, would change references in Indiana laws to “delta-9 THC” to just “THC.”
Delta-8, which is derived from hemp, was legalized federally under the 2018 Farm Bill. SB 209 would change definitions in Indiana drug schedules from “delta-9 THC,” or the form of THC derived from cannabis, to just “THC.” This would envelope delta-8 as well. So in essence, SB 209 aims to outlaw all forms of THC, closing the loophole that has allowed smoke shops to sell products containing delta-8 THC.
Since the legalization, farmers and retail stores have profited from the products, and Hoosiers have been able to easily get their hands on a legalized form of THC.
