Indiana governor remains against legalizing marijuana

Associated Press  

INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Gov. “I’m just not willing to look at that, especially since it is illegal right now according to the federal government,” Holcomb told reporters recently. She said support for such legislation “is at an all-time high” in the state and the Legislature should “follow the will of the people.” The Indiana Chamber of Commerce is among the groups against any legalization, arguing that even allowing medical marijuana use leads to decreased worker productivity and safety concerns. Republican Rep. Jim Lucas of Seymour said he and other supporters of marijuana legalization face fighting the “stigma and fear-mongering” of on the issue. “Fortunately, we’re in a state that’s in a strong position, fiscally speaking, so we’re not maybe looking to every potential source without addressing all the adverse effects that come with it,” he said.
