RECOMMENDING CANNABIS IN INDIANA
|
Indiana allows for “low THC hemp extract,” made legal through Senate Bill 52, passed in 2018. Indiana does not have a comprehensive or operational medical cannabis program. |
Americans for Safe Access supports the right of all patients to access medical cannabis. Indiana residents who wish to advocate for a medical cannabis program in their state can learn how to get involved with Americans for Safe Access patient advocacy.
Federal Rights & Protections for Medical Professionals
Medical professionals have a legal right to recommend cannabis as a treatment in any state, as protected by the Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research Expansion Act (Title III section 301) which became law on December 2, 2022, and the First Amendment (established by a 2004 United States Supreme Court decision to uphold earlier federal court rulings that doctors, and their patients have a fundamental Constitutional right to freely discuss treatment options).
DOWNLOAD MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, MEDICAL CANNABIS & THE LAW
| State-by-state compassionate use programs are not the ultimate goal for medical cannabis patients; they are a means to aid patients in finding safe cannabis products until federal laws change. Americans for Safe Access is working to create a national program that would include prescriptions, standardized products, and a pathway to insurance coverage. Learn more about ASA Campaigns. |
