Region senator files proposal to legalize recreational marijuana use in Indiana

INDIANAPOLIS — State Sen. Karen Tallian, D-Ogden Dunes, filed legislation Tuesday that would permit Hoosiers to possess up to 2 ounces of marijuana for recreational purposes.

If Senate Bill 213 next year becomes law, Indiana would join Michigan, and likely Illinois, as Great Lakes states that have eliminated criminal penalties for adult marijuana use.

But she said support for legalizing marijuana is at an all-time high, and Indiana certainly could use the revenue generated from taxes on marijuana sales.

starting early. That's how we get a visible jump on parachuting to the rescue.
IMHO, This kind of stuff, and what Congressman Cummings is doing, is setting the table for change folks will happily vote for again. And in a lot of voting districts they'll be UN-GERRYMANDERED!!!
Fired Up! Ready to go!! Fired UP, and ready to go!!
All we have to do is chant it like we did before, and let our heads follow or hearts.
