Freeman is exactly the type of legislator that the buggy whip industry needed a century ago to help stave off the automobile.
As soon as big corporations and big money show up throwing around campaign checks, these legislators who claim to be against THC will change their minds and construct a convoluted market designed primarily to ensure that legislators can get continual campaign checks, just like they’ve done with the ATC.
Per a Ball State poll, 85% of state residents favor some form of legalization, 59% full legalization. It seems like the elephant in the room at this point…
Don’t underestimate the danger of thc. They often bring unintended consequences
Legalization of pot and associated drugs is bad for the community at large. Many unintended consequences along with the continued dumbing down of the populace. Legalization coupled with a downtown casino perhaps the two worst options on the table.
Do you mean whiskey? It’s a joke that weed is illegal here. It needs controls, sure. And the synthetics should be banned, sure. But weed is available in all the adjacent states and is a much safer substance than alcohol. Which through a historical, cultural anomaly has been demonized for too long. Regarding your weed/casino parlay — it’s not coupled.
Nobody is driving into Indiana from a state where it is legal, to buy delta8. That is ridiculous.
This entire argument-discussion is based on second and third hand opinions, stories and myths, that all seem to have swallowed the idea of something they no nothing about.
I’m always amazed at how the folks against pot and THC have never used it, but they feel they need to save the rest of us, based on their misunderstandings. Freeman and many of them in this argument need to just get stoned two or three times before they keep tying their arguments into pretzels of rationalized thinking.
It’s not a misunderstanding. Freeman has two approaches to every issue
1) I’m the smartest person in every room I walk into
2) Every part of Indiana should be legislated like it’s the suburban part of Indiana, and the needs of other residents must be secondary to mine. Example – we don’t have transit in Franklin Township, so no one should have transit. I take certain roads to get to the Statehouse, so how dare the city of Indianapolis want to make them safer for the residents of the area? I may have to go a different route!
