As much as some Indiana lawmakers would like to believe that being an “Island unto Ourselves” with us being surrounded by Illinois, Michigan and Ohio marijuana dispensaries; all they are really doing is preventing Indiana from collecting tax revenue on what anyone can get if they want to. Doubt this statement? Check out any parking lot of any location just over the state line, and the vast majority of vehicles have Indiana license plates.
The police just want reasons to pull people over. Once you legalize marijuana, cops (and prosecutors) start losing the “we smelled pot” excuse for probable cause in court. It’s such a powerful tool for the police because you can’t prove what a cop did or did not smell.
when there otherwise wouldn’t have been.
So, how useful was that “work”? ( How many lunches did it cost 😕?)
A belated comment, but this committee seems to employee the same old, same old, rationalizations and basic misunderstandings that have been regurgitated since Pence was governor. And ironically the Indiana Chamber does not really speak for the real business community anymore, it’s a dying agency speaking for only its largest donors and members.
If the committee wants real information and opinions, maybe try inviting the cannabis using
Public and businesses that have had employees that use marijuana responsibly. The idea that more research is needed is another tired excuse of showing ignorance and fear of the unknown.
In fact, I would suggest the committee, and leaders of the legislature sit in a large banquet room and take a couple hits off a joint, and then discuss their concerns. Of course the drink and food vendor would also love it.
We need a summer study committee on summer study committee. It seems like these committees rarely come to any meaningful conclusion, and in the rare chance they do, the general assembly seems to disregard the work they do anyway.
