Thanks IBJ for publishing this Associated Press article! Hopefully some of our fearing legislators will read it! The facts don’t lie, and this article seems to only speak the truth. I was very impresssed with Senator Bray’s last statement about not living in a vacuum, this at least shows signs of an opening mind in his leadership role. Fear of the unknown and fear of the perpetuated misinformation is actually the GOP leadership’s fall-back excuse. I certainly hope they start some due diligence efforts, and not continue grasping at unscientific studies designed to mislead them even more.
Indiana should be on the spear point of legalization, creating businesses, creating jobs, creating a renewable stream of tax revenue, and giving medicine to those in need. Instead, Indiana is missing the money boat. Poor leadership and frightened politicians do not have the good of the people in mind. Holcomb is beholden to Lilly’s because of the all the money they contributed to him.
That vacuum sound is soon to be Hoosier dollars leaving the state.
I also am posting this in hopes that our legislators will possibly read this.
YOU NEED TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANA USE IN SOME FORM!
I say this as a voting republican. Indiana is currently a conservative state, but that can start to change very rapidly and I do not think that many of us want to see that.
This is to our legislators— We voted you in to run the government at the will of the people, NOT for your personal beliefs and choices. Read the writing on the wall. 80% of the population wants marijuana legalized, at least medically. I am not a user of this product, but I am a firm believer in a government BY the people and FOR the people. If those of you in office currently FAIL to listen to your constituents, you may find yourself without a job in 2020. Also it seems that you are making your decisions regarding marijuana based on old, outdated beliefs. You need to update yourself on the current research on medical benefits and uses, as well as the successful legalization in other states. Legalization comes with the ability to control the content of the product in commercial sales. This means keeping the substance pure and free of other, more addictive drugs. Legalization comes with the ability to tax the sale of the product, adding revenue to the state. Legalization comes with a reduction in the burden of overcrowding on our prison population.
I urge you to reconsider your choice here for the sake of your job in 2020. Even I, who could care less if the drug is legalized, will have to consider my vote carefully for a politician that will not listen to the people.
Republican Gov. Eric Holcomb says he’ll remain opposed as long as the federal government classifies marijuana as a dangerous drug, and the leaders of the GOP-dominated Legislature back him.
“We the Representatives of the people of the Territory of Indiana, in Convention met, at Corydon, on monday the tenth day of June in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixteen, and of the Independence of the United States, the fortieth, having the right of admission into the General Government, as a member of the union, consistent with the constitution of the United States, the ordinance of Congress of one thousand seven hundred and eighty seven, and the law of Congress, entitle “An act to enable the people of the Indiana Territory to form a Constitution and State Government, and for the admission of such state into the union, on an equal footing with the original States” in order to establish Justice, promote the welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity; do ordain and establish the following constitution or form of Government, and do mutually agree with each other to form ourselves into a free and Independent state, by the name of the State of Indiana.”
Eric may not be familiar with Indiana Constitutions Preamble. “and do mutually agree with each other to form ourselves into a free and Independent state”
