🧳 What Visitors Need to Know

Indiana has no cannabis program whatsoever. Completely illegal, no exceptions. Surrounded by Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio (which all have various levels of legalization), Indiana is a prohibition island. Don't bring cannabis into Indiana from a neighboring state — federal and state charges can apply. Indianapolis is not a cannabis destination.

📍 Major Cities

Indianapolis
No options — strict state.

Indianapolis has no cannabis options. The city's major sporting events (Indy 500, Big Ten championships, NFL Draft) bring visitors from legal states but the law doesn't care. Don't risk it.

Fort Wayne
Conservative northeast Indiana — nothing.

Fort Wayne has zero cannabis options. Ohio border is nearby but Ohio's recreational market is limited by other restrictions.

Evansville
Near Illinois border — don't cross with cannabis.

Evansville is across the river from Illinois where cannabis is fully legal. Indiana law enforcement watches this crossing actively.

ℹ️ Dispensary hours, prices, and laws change frequently. Always verify before visiting.
