Is cannabis legal in Aurora, Indiana?
No. Indiana has no legal medical or adult-use marijuana program, and possessing marijuana is an offense under Indiana Code 35-48-4-11. Ohio sells adult-use cannabis to anyone 21 or older with a current, valid, government-issued ID, but the Ohio Division of Cannabis Control says it cannot legally cross state lines.
Ohio sets no residency requirement, so an Indiana driver’s license works at an Ohio counter. What changes at the state line is the law, not the customer, and the Indiana visitor guide walks through it.

Can I bring cannabis from Ohio back to Aurora?
No. The Ohio Division of Cannabis Control states that federal and state law prohibit traveling across state lines with cannabis, and Indiana law makes possessing marijuana an offense. Anything bought at an Ohio dispensary has to stay in Ohio, where smoking or vaping it is allowed only on private residential or agricultural property.
