As of October 8, 2026, CBG / CBDA / CBGA (hemp-derived) is in a legal gray area (sold in practice, exposed to an interpretive ban theory) in Indiana as raw material / ruo.

The current code and the fate of SB 250 (2026) could not be read on the official site. Controlling source: IC 15-15-13, Industrial Hemp (OISC posted copy).
