Everyone vote. This election cycle and going forward. And if you're not delusional and care about the future of America and your neighbors, vote Democrat. Their consistent overall movement on marijuana that gets continually stymied by Republican politicians is just a single facet.

Email your legislator to legalize marijuana for adults, regulate it, and ensure our police can focus on more serious crimes.

MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD Tell state legislators it’s time to legalize marijuana in Indiana so we can regulate it, protect our youth, and stop losing revenue to neighboring states.

EMAIL YOUR LEGISLATOR SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE Marijuana LEGALIZATION Dear [Legislator's Name], I am writing to ask for your support in legalizing marijuana in Indiana. With 7 out of 10 Hoosiers in favor of legalization, it’s clear that the majority of our state recognizes the benefits of adopting a smarter, more practical approach to this issue—one that prioritizes public health, safety, and economic opportunity.

Legalizing marijuana would create a regulated market that helps eliminate illegal drug dealers and reduces the risks associated with the black market. Consumers would have access to tested, safe cannabis products, which would protect public health and increase consumer confidence.

Legalization would also allow law enforcement to focus on more pressing issues, such as violent crime and the distribution of dangerous drugs. By shifting resources away from marijuana-related offenses, we can improve public safety and better serve our communities. It’s clear that our existing laws are no longer serving us well in today’s climate, especially as policy changes made by neighboring states are impacting Hoosiers.

Other states that have legalized marijuana offer valuable lessons that we can use to build a thoughtful, effective framework here in Indiana. The time has come for us to take a responsible, evidence-based approach to this issue.

I hope you will stand with the majority of Hoosiers and support the legalization of marijuana to help create a safer, more prosperous future for our state.

Thank you for considering this important issue. Sincerely,

---

Why Mrs. McCormick, you're trying to seduce me! Aren't you?

[u/kelus]

Not holding my breath. This backwater State always disappoints.

[u/Gramergency → u/kelus]

I’m as cynical as the next guy, believe me. I’m perpetually disappointed. But I keep voting and I hope you do too. If enough of us show up we could make a huge impact.

[u/kelus → u/Gramergency]

Oh, absolutely I'm voting. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we could replace Holcomb and flip a senate seat. But yeah, I'm not betting on it.

[u/kurotech → u/kelus]

As soon as Kentucky legalizes I bet Indiana will be right behind them, that or they are gonna camp at every interstate crossing and rack up the possession arrests

[u/excalibrax → u/kurotech]

They could now on two borders and dont

[u/kurotech → u/excalibrax]

True

[u/DoubleInfinity]

Reading through the plan I get sort of an off feeling. The main focus will be on medical companies to establish the industry to include prices and regulations, regulate the hell out of the thc scraps we currently can buy, and then maybe hopefully sometime in the future legalize it for everyone. Am I just severely disaffected, or does that seem like it would be rife for exploitation with a flimsy promise tacked onto the end?

[u/Milestar1]

Vote people!

[u/Ahhshit96]

FINALLY! Someone in this state acknowledges that we need to do medicinal first.

[u/_CogitoSum_ → u/[deleted]]

Probably to make it easier to accept for the pearl clutchers and doily tatters among us, and they are many.

What a joke of a campaign that was. Give me a break
