marijuana legalization

A coalition pushing for cannabis reform published survey findings from a conservative-linked pollster in which an “overwhelming” number of Hoosiers supported legalization.

A Republican-backed group pushing Indiana’s lawmakers to “adopt safe and regulated” marijuana policies launched on Wednesday.

Indiana is now surrounded by three states that have legalized recreational cannabis for adults, but attempts to legalize it here haven't made it far.

For Hoosiers such as Elkhart resident Nathan Cray, buying legal marijuana in Michigan is as easy as visiting the coffee shop. 

Legislation is being filed in both chambers, by lawmakers of both parties, that deal with aspects of cannabis reform.

More than 50 percent of people in the 2022 Hoosier Survey said they support full legalization of cannabis for adults.

The legislature has been examining the subject for about four years. And the testimony in a legislative study committee this week didn't differ much from what lawmakers have heard before.

The Indiana Democratic Party is launching a statewide tour to promote cannabis legalization.

Delta 8 has become increasingly popular in recent years, as hemp producers discovered CBD distillate could be converted to different forms of THC, the chemical component of marijuana that gets users “high.”

Marijuana legalization in any form is still extremely unlikely in Indiana next year, despite a renewed push from Democrats on the issue.
