The likelihood of any of the 13 bills surviving session is slim, based on previous years' experience. In October 2020, Gov. Eric Holcomb noted his opposition to legalizing marijuana in the state as it would clash with federal marijuana law. A representative for Holcomb's office said "his stance hasn’t changed" but he will review all the legislation that comes to his desk. Indiana is the only one of its neighbors to have no legalized form of marijuana. Illinois and Michigan both have legalized recreational marijuana, while Ohio and Kentucky have legalized medical marijuana. Here are the 13 bills to keep an eye on this session and where they fall into the legislative process. ..... Senate Bill 324 - Legalization of cannabis .... Senate Bill 414 - Cannabis legalization ... House Bill 1311 - Cannabis Legalization ... House Bill 1070 - Decriminalization of marijuana ... House Bill 1232 - Partial marijuana decriminalization ... House Bill 1168 - Medical marijuana ... House Bill 1212 - Medical and adult use cannabis ... Senate Bill 175 - Medical cannabis ... Senate Bill 231- Medical marijuana ... House Bill 1049 - Cannabis regulation ... Senate Bill 197 - Cannabis regulation ... Senate Bill 354 - Marijuana offenses ... House Bill 1405 - Study legalization of recreational marijuana ... The people of Indiana are speaking Mr. Holcomb. Why don't you listen to them instead of being a sycophant for the federal government. You do know all these surrounding states are profiting from you stubbornness? Edited January 19, 2022 by Muda69 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One word: Lilly's Little chance they become law....where they die is the only question. the ONLY hope is a veto override. The IGA has the numbers for it with the supermajority, but will they pull it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but being a pharmaceutical company, they want to keep treatments within their realm, so they oppose any alternatives. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. They want to keep up the fiction of marijuana as the 'wacky weed'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
