Bill Summary
Decriminalization of marijuana. Decriminalizes possession of two ounces or less of marijuana.
AI Summary
This bill, effective July 1, 2026, amends Indiana law to decriminalize the possession of marijuana by increasing the threshold for criminal offenses. Previously, possessing any amount of marijuana could lead to charges, but this bill specifies that possessing *more than two ounces* of marijuana, hash oil, hashish, or salvia, or growing more than two ounces, will be considered a Class B misdemeanor, the least severe criminal offense. The bill also raises the amount for a more serious Level 6 felony charge from thirty grams to four ounces of marijuana, while keeping the threshold for hash oil, hashish, or salvia at five grams. This change aims to reduce penalties for minor marijuana possession.
