Uhh, prohibition just makes a huge black market for everyone who wants. It been like that forever!! Indiananians are dmoking it, growing it it,s everywhere. Politicians have a chance to lock in some revenue and thats it. They , especially Repubs don,t know anything , accurate, about it. They are to busy living in fear of everything.
BWAAHAAAHAAA! I lived in Butler and no booze sold on Sunday back then. Damned ohio folks would show up and drink all our beer watching football, then have to drive drunk back to ohio to buy more. Go figure.
Indiana so backwards won’t be long before I’m out of here I’ll go to Ohio or maybe Colorado to get away from this backward state. Lose money, Indiana you’re stupid.
Psst..we've been growing and smoking it like it was legal for 20+ years, you won't be making money off the existing demographic. That's why the cannabis business is struggling and failing everywhere in general. Imagine if there was a store that only sold tomatoes, how long would they be in business for?
Crazy that politicians have the audacity to say they will change the law AFTER the citizens vote for what they want. Why do politicians get to impose fascist laws on us? Straight up tyranny. During COVID we had laws placed on us by politicians and media pundits "in our best interest" despite not being based on fact or science. Today they apologize and say they were trying to help. Here we are again with marijuana — you don't have direct negative impacts on health and you don't have easy access for minors. Just like a bar, children/minors can't just enter a dispensary and purchase marijuana. All the arguments they use are strange circumstances referencing driving or a child using — why are we looking at a small percentage of negative outcomes versus the calmative benefit as a whole for everyone? Those against or politicians trying to embrace control need to study from other states (24 of them legal) and their colleagues in those states to see how the plant has benefitted their state. If you choose to drive under any influence you'll face consequences. Don't place consequences on us all for the actions of a small portion of the population. How many DUI arrests each year divided by the Indiana population? Less than 1% just like covid deaths — so don't demonize us all for the actions or negative outcomes of a small portion of our society.
The real reason the state of Indiana and Police are against Marijuana is because this will limit their ability to create revenue from traffic stops for simple possession. Additionally, the state is trying to figure out how to control and tax — pure greed. No taxation without representation should still be a thing. The government mismanages the tax revenues they have and need to stay out of this new venture that could support the citizens of Indiana through road improvement and other benefits to society.
Many news, police and politicians push the anti-marijuana rhetoric of the 1950's. Most reporters say we haven't been able to study marijuana but in reality there are 23 states legal with their own data, numerous colleges and corporations spending millions to study for the last decade or more. Why does the news always emphasize the bad but never take 10 minutes to research for themselves to identify positive benefits–almost like the talking points are handed to them. The most blatant lie being pushed or fear mongering around marijuana use is that it will lead to accidents, crime, etc. Nearly Every state that has legalized marijuana has not seen an uptick in deaths or crime directly related to recreational adult use.
Why is Indiana last to everything? Why aren't we looking at the 23 other states who have legalized marijuana for adult use and taking their legal framework as an example? We need to learn that fear mongering and placing high tax is not the correct strategy to realizing our states potential via adult use legalization.
It doesn't matter what lawmakers think. It matters what the people think. Good luck, Indiana. Come visit Ohio! Bring your money! Smoke some weed! Maybe when your state sees how much money is leaving the state, they'll rethink their position. Conservatives are standing in your way and they value $$$ over everything.
Indiana residents, like ohio residents, will still go to michigan seeing the real sellers can't start selling here for 2 years and will remain expensive
((({{::>>>>Legalize cannabis federally within each and every state. This way, irrational prohibitionist politicians can't obstruct and prevent legalization against the will of the vast majority of Americans whom support full federal cannabis legalization nationwide. Treat cannabis exactly like we treat far more dangerous and deadly yet perfectly legal alcohol. Legal in all states.<:||)))
Marijuana makes people lazy and it also put you in a dreamworld to wear every year y’all say yeah I’m gonna do this and next I’m going to do that, but the truth is you never do it because you’re constantly stoned. I used to smoke it daily, and this is coming from experience. I’m not saying that if you just do it as occasionally, you may be OK, but you do not want to develop a habit on it.
More state level studies? Even though at a federal level the recommendation was schedule 3? It’s because of big pharma and Indiana loves it’s totalitarian control. We were just recently able to purchase alcohol on a Sunday. The state and all its leaders down to family court are absolutely out of touch with reality. On one hand they say they are as conservative as the Amish and then they write and maintain laws like nazis. The two things can’t be simultaneously true. Conservative government is less government, not all the rules. And if you don’t comply, they will strap you to a chair and slap the shit out of you, Elkhart city.
Sounds like some politicians are on the take from organized crime that sells MJ in their state. It’s a proven fact that legalizing can reduce crime and judicial systems overload. Let’s not forget if Indy has private prisons in their state, they get massive kickbacks the more they incarcerate. When Colorado legalized MJ, within 6 months they had amassed over 6 million in tax dollars. The state had to form its own private bank to keep the revenue. Placing it in a FDIC Controlled bank the feds would automatically seize the money, a windfall for their pockets. The state at the time was utilizing the funds for helping the elderly in healthcare. As long as 90% of this tax money goes to help those in need it’s OK, however when a state starts claiming more expenses towards these tax dollars the public needs to audit the state as to how it is being spent.
Intoxication vs. euphoria. Cannabis will still never make you drunk. It rather causes a more meditative state. Sometimes we’re giggly.
Uhh, prohibition just makes a huge black market for everyone who wants. It been like that forever!! Indiananians are dmoking it, growing it it,s everywhere. Politicians have a chance to lock in some revenue and thats it. They , especially Repubs don,t know anything , accurate, about it. They are to busy living in fear of everything.
Crime will eventually decrease by a lot, if marihuana is legalized!!!!
Im sure canada has all the real time information and alot of methods to implement. Its been 5 years here now. Things have changed.
If all are politicians where not backed by big pharma it would have been legal by now wouldn’t it hokey 🧐🤬🤬
Legalize marijuana!!!!!!
Mike Dewine, Will mess it up and hopefully not be delay.
They need more time to study the impacts on labor? Brother, your workforce is already smoking its just not legal.
BWAAHAAAHAAA! I lived in Butler and no booze sold on Sunday back then. Damned ohio folks would show up and drink all our beer watching football, then have to drive drunk back to ohio to buy more. Go figure.
LOSS OF REVENUE
Who cares what Indiana thinks they need to focus on their own..
Might as well because it’ll enter Indiana a lot more frequently since Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio already legalized it
I give it by 2029 nationwide Legalization
thats ok indiana ohio will be glad to sell it to you
Their very poor state could use the money.
Decision makers in Indiana are too high smoking all the weed from the surrounding states to focus on the matter.
Indiana so backwards won’t be long before I’m out of here I’ll go to Ohio or maybe Colorado to get away from this backward state. Lose money, Indiana you’re stupid.

NP, We will take your states money with out complaint!
LEMON POUND CAKE……………….
Indiana politicians are clueless. Michigan is just a short drive away. So who cares what they do in Indiana.

Come visit Ohio! Bring your money! Smoke some weed!

Surprised by this woke stations announcing this. I quit the big four channels here in town a while back. Too woke for me but this was interesting

The domino effect is taking place games must be played because our childish government does only for themselves Not the people

Alcohol prohibition never worked so I can’t understand why they ever expected weed prohibition to work either….
Yes !! Legalize! The STATE of INDIANA would triple the revenue, more money for the STATE, WHY NOT??? It would SOLVE a lot of PROBLEMS!!

Why aren't you being honest…. It's because of big pharma this is Eli Lilly land
The research is already out there
I live 2.5 miles from Indiana in Ohio. STILL cannot fathom how ANY state can lock 🔒 up a pothead while letting the junkies run amok.
How it affects the workforce? Wow. AKA we're all slaves and they don't want lazy slaves
Tig ol bitties
In michigan i see even old people buying it in the legal stores. Go granny.
Indiana is far too authoritarian. Heck, it was only a few years ago that Authoritarian Indiana allowed beer to be sold on Sunday's.
With woa😢❤

Studies have proven legalizing weed is a net gain. The only negative is that big Pharma sells less prescriptions in states with legal weed.
I'm thinking i see reaction to recreational THC
The young people and workforce are already using it. The effect less arrest for nothing 😕
No one needs a study on how weed affects the young people because we are legalizing it for Adults! We are selling to Adults, It's not for kids.
