Is Medical Marijuana Legal in Fort Wayne, IN?
Facts on this page were checked against official sources, including Indiana Code Title 35 from the Indiana General Assembly, by the Dr. Green Relief editorial team. The answer on card fees rests on IC 35-48-4-11, which makes no medical exception, and on the General Assembly bill records for the 2025 and 2026 sessions, read October 20, 2026. Last reviewed October 29, 2026.
Medical marijuana is not legal in Fort Wayne, and Fort Wayne marijuana doctors have no Indiana card to certify you for, because the state has no medical marijuana program. Indiana’s 2017 law, HEA 1148, only set up a cannabidiol registry for treatment resistant epilepsy, and SEA 52 repealed it in 2018.
No registry has replaced it, so a Fort Wayne patient has nothing to join. For more, see our summary of Indiana marijuana laws and why Indiana issues no medical marijuana card.
You need no certification for low THC hemp extract, which Indiana allows at 0.3% total delta-9 THC or less. To qualify, the extract may contain no other controlled substance. Senate Bill 250 of 2026 would have put hemp products under the Alcohol and Tobacco Commission; it passed the Senate but did not become law.

What Does Indiana Law Say About Marijuana Doctors in Fort Wayne?
Michigan and Ohio each run their own cannabis program, but marijuana bought there is still marijuana under Indiana law. Carrying it into Fort Wayne is possession under IC 35-48-4-11, even with a valid card from the state of purchase. No diagnosis qualifies a Fort Wayne patient for an Indiana card, treatment resistant epilepsy included. In 2025 lawmakers also filed hemp bills, such as SB 478 on craft hemp and SB 138 on sales to people under 21, and both died.
Low THC hemp extract sold in Fort Wayne must carry a scannable bar code or QR code linked to batch details and a certificate of analysis. Its label must also show the batch number, the expiration date, the milligrams of extract and the manufacturer. Selling extract without that label is a Class C infraction, rising to Class B and Class A for repeat violations. Other 2026 bills on low THC hemp extract, House Bills 1285 and 1346, also died without becoming law. Delivering marijuana to another person can be charged as dealing under IC 35-48-4-10. Dr. Green Relief has no office in Fort Wayne or elsewhere in Indiana; its offices are in Florida and in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Growing Marijuana Is Illegal
Hemp Extract Capped At 0.3% Total Delta-9 THC
Does Indiana Have a Card Program?
Fort Wayne residents can get no Indiana medical marijuana card: none exists, and no Indiana statute lets a physician certify one. A diagnosis changes nothing, because Indiana grants no patient protection from state penalties for possessing or growing marijuana. The legal category is low THC hemp extract, which IC 35-48-1.1-7 removes from the controlled substance list. It is also left out of the definition of marijuana in IC 35-48-1.1-29, provided it meets the IC 35-48-1.1-27 definition, including no more than 0.3% total delta-9 THC, counting precursors. Smokable hemp has its own definition, in IC 35-48-1.1-38, and the extract rules do not cover it. Indiana also sets no state quantity limit on the extract.
