It’s time to consider legalizing marijuana and tax it at 7%. Use the funds to fund the following:
1) forming an elite force to fight gangs, drug and sex traffickers in Indiana with emphasis on crack and fentanyl;
2) Use the money to help with Medicaid funding;
3) Property tax relief.
Marijuana usage is rivaling alcohol usage only those using it are at risk legally. Will more people use it if legal? Probably, but most, including the elderly, are using it regularly now!
Totally agree. I was going to type something similar to your comment.
I wholeheartedly agree John S. Millions of dollars in revenue opportunity going to surrounding states does not benefit Indiana.
The idea that “14-year-olds who walk into a cannabis store and buy the product, and there’s no, absolutely no regulation whatsoever” is asinine. No one is saying don’t regulate marijuana. Turn to states that have successfully implemented legalization and regulation, seek knowledge on how to do this in a manner that serves Indiana.
I know this is controversial but I disagree with the ” everyone else is doing it” banter. There is no good reason to legalize marijuana, or increase use of it or its derivatives in order to fund government. If that is the reason that politicians legislate bills that do not increase the wellness and health of the population, but justify it on grounds that it is a moneymaker for the state, then we are in a very sad state. It is morally indefensible to increase efforts that are a negative in nature for the sake of money. What is next? Legalizing prostitution, expanding gambling to high school sports, etc. Where does the nonsense stop?
