But, Teshka’s bill was set to go into effect once the federal government ended the prohibition of marijuana, Bennion said. The bill was not heard in committee.
State Rep. Chris Campbell, D-West Lafayette, speaks during a press conference in West Lafayette on Friday, April 22, 2022 regarding the legalization of marijuana in Indiana. At an event held April 22, as part of a four-day, seven-stop tour to address legalization of recreational marijuana, Hammond Mayor and candidate for U.S. Senate Thomas McDermott Jr. said marijuana should be decriminalized.McDermott said that means that drug dealers won’t profit off of illegal sale of marijuana and Hoosiers won’t have to travel to Illinois or Michigan to buy marijuana and then face the possibility of being charged with a crime in Indiana if pulled over by police.
The guardrails for recreational marijuana use, McDermott said, would be prohibiting people from driving under the influence of marijuana. Anyone under the age of 21 would also be prohibited from purchasing marijuana from a dispensary for recreational use, he said.Advertisement Political science experts agree that Indiana is getting closer toward legalizing marijuana in some form, but it’s hard to tell when that will occur, Bennion said. It depends on who is elected as the next governor, if the makeup of the state legislature shifts, or if the federal government takes action, she said.In Indiana, recreational marijuana use “is not something that the Republicans are really very fond of at all,” Eisenstein said.

Dems know that Biden and the Dem Congress has ruined many Dems of the chances they’ve now lost for election or re-election. If people smoke, they may forget why the cost of smoking & everything else requires them to work more hours. Who cares, right Dems who elected Biden/Harris?
A state that's already home of pot.
