“The 2022 Hoosier Survey, a poll conducted by Indiana Public Broadcasting and Ball State University’s Bowen Center for Public Affairs, showed more than 85% of the 600 respondents supported marijuana legalization in some form, compared to 15% who said it should be illegal.”
A follow up question should be asked saying “how much do you care about marijuana legalization” and “would you change your vote based on this issue?”. As we can see in the real world, it polls high but people don’t prioritize it when they vote.
People will say “oh I support it” and then will turn around and vote for their anti-cannabis legislative rep, Todd Rokita, Curtis Hill, and Eric Holcomb.
I don’t think anybody has ever won a competitive office in Indiana based on their marijuana advocacy.
I don’t think most stoners would even list marijuana legalization as their top political issue, so that’s why no one has ever won based on support for it. Now why anyone who supports legalization would vote Republican in the first place is beyond my comprehension, but I can’t comprehend how any educated person can support that party anymore, whether or not they’re in favor of marijuana.
I’m horrendously uneducated, which is probably I grudgingly support the GOP–even though I could never register as a Republican. I guess it’s the solidarity I feel toward my fellow losers. I’ll just keep reminding them to get rid of their cigarettes–those are old school and bad, while marijuana is perfectly acceptable to smoke these days…in most of the same settings that we aggressively sought to prohibit cigarette smoking 25 years ago.
Regarding the party of obvious educational and intellectual superiority, it’s interesting to recall how white southerners in the 1950s and 60s felt that they were morally, culturally, and intellectually superior to another demographic subgroup living alongside them–so convinced were they, in fact, that they rigged elections against this subgroup, impeded their ability to earn a living, or even to operate in public spaces in the same way. And the white southerns thought their behavior was defensible or even righteous. How convenient it was for white southerners back then that they had a political party whose architecture enabled them to this.
What was the name of that party again? It’s slipping my mind. Must be my lack of education.
Love your intelligent humor Lauren.!
I think it was the same party that founded and expanded slavery, and fought a civil war to keep slavery, same party that not only created the Jim Crow laws, but the KKK. Coincidentally it’s the same party who continues to lie and cheat that same subgroup. My biggest question has always been, how can the black race and black culture still think they are Democrats today? Guess the old Dem slave party told the blacks they were Dems. Never made any real sense to me.
Both parties have contributed to the failure to legalize cannabis. FDR signed the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act. Cannabis is still listed as a schedule 1 drug despite Obama and Biden having been President.
Nixon made it schedule 1. Unfortunately he was afraid of the youth and hippy movement.

The archeological evidence out of Israel, for the shamanic use of cannabis in a 800 BCE Jewish Temple, confirming the identification of kaneh bosm as cannabis, is set on a course to cause the same sort of re-evaluation of the Bible, that Darwin’s theory of Evolution did more than a century ago. Just watch…. the evolution of consciousness and religion through the shamanic use of plants, is a real thing. Chris Bennett
Two limestone monoliths, interpreted as altars, were found in the Judahite shrine at Tel Arad. Unidentified dark material preserved on their upper surfaces was submitted for organic residue analysis at two unrelated laboratories that used similar established extraction methods. On the smaller altar, residues of cannabinoids such as Δ9-teterahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) were detected, along with an assortment of terpenes and terpenoids, suggesting that cannabis inflorescences had been burnt on it. Organic residues attributed to animal dung were also found, suggesting that the cannabis resin had been mixed with dung to enable mild heating. The larger altar contained an assemblage of indicative triterpenes such as boswellic acid and norursatriene, which derives from frankincense. The additional presence of animal fat―in related compounds such as testosterone, androstene and cholesterol―suggests that resin was mixed with it to facilitate evaporation. These well-preserved residues shed new light on the use of 8th century Arad altars and on incense offerings in Judah during the Iron Age. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03344355.2020.1732046? fbclid=lwAR14SQ0RWyhrSWdMv34AMyOXR-WJ_Kil5pHHXdh9RyllEU_Tu3EllmSsv9M&
“If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ.” Chris Bennett, Historian
Eli Lilly’s 1907 doctoral thesis at the nation’s first college of pharmacy, The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, was on cannabis. Under his leadership Eli Lilly & Co. became a world class manufacturer of cannabis based pharmaceuticals with 23 items containing cannabis for sale in 1935. It was not science but reefer madness that brought this to an end. Professors at the college still call his doctoral thesis as groundbreaking.

Thanks for bringing this up again!
Good info and shows the level of how out of touch Holcomb and his legislative puppets are. They’re afraid, in case anyone wonders.
Here is the thing. I LIKE living in a conservative state. Are there things I don’t like? Sure. I have always said, prior to other states legalizing THC, is that we should make it legal and tax the heck out of it. Make it work for the state/country.
However, Indiana just got Sunday Liquor Sales a few years ago. I’d love to see Indiana legalize Medical use of THC. However, I believe that it will take the Federal Government taking it off Schedule 1 to tempt Indiana to legalize marijuana.
Just my 2 cents.
