We know prohibition doesn’t work and only makes more criminals. I read somewhere 25% use it every month. Tax it.
don’t use the IL model or people will still go over the border.
How did a state like Oklahoma get medical marijuana before Indiana?
Mississippi even allows medical marijuana.
These goofs these mutts vite in office and the real voters dobt even vote! Goigle us!!
Wow man!
I used to be open to the sort of libertarian argument but there’s no getting away from the fact that legalization is a net negative for society and the availability and potency of it has lifetime effects on younger users.
Should we also try to ban alcohol and tobacco? As the temperance movement so clearly demonstrated – prohibition will never work.
Without data to back it up, this assertion is meritless.
It’s time!! When a huge percentage of the people are doing something, most of the time, it’s time to legalize it and tax it but don’t over-tax it! 7% like everything else. Also, it’s better to have conservatives do the legislation instead of the Democrats who may require its usage!!!
It amazes me that there is such outrage about pot when alcohol abuse is incredible and much more damaging. Indiana is losing out on millions of dollars in taxes.
The State will happily get people addicted to truly harmful things like alcohol, tobacco, and gambling for tax revenue. The handwringing over cannabis is ridiculous.
At least $170 million in annual sales tax, to be exact.
Fk medical! Everybody here smokes Recreational!
Unfortunately our holy legislative folks still think they know what’s best for us. Ha!
Once the medicinal dispensaries make enough money they can afford the lobbyists and the contributions to finally allow recreational.
Braun will do whatever his master tells him to.
People worried about all of the tax money we are losing out on… lol, like that matters. They would just have more money to recklessly spend without any real fixes to sky high property taxes, terrible roads, and all of the other issues that never get addressed other than with a Band-Aid every once in a while.
Yeah but at least we wouldn’t have to live through this hellscape sober
Not anti THC. But don’t believe state should be involved. States that have legalized have seen most sales continue to be black market. (Why pay taxes on our recreational substance use when higher quality can be had without?)
Name one thing that Braun has been able to accomplish. Like most issues, legalization is up to the leaders in the legislature and they don’t seem to listen to him.
