Legal cannabis will transform the state’s economy and create job opportunities for farmers. Also, it’s an idea that more than 80-percent of voters support in some form. It’s a shame Republicans at the statehouse and in Congress said “NO” to this opportunity during the 2022 legislative session. In fact, their opposition illustrates how they have no plan for Indiana’s future, just partisanship.

“We have seen the impact that recreational and medicinal cannabis use has made on the states around us, and not only are Hoosiers contributing to neighboring states’ economies, but Indiana is also now on the verge of losing out altogether,” said Mike Schmuhl, Chairman of the Indiana Democratic Party. “It’s unfortunate to see Indiana Republicans have no plan on cannabis, and instead, see them oppose this common-sense policy due to partisanship. Democrats have taken the lead on this effort because it’s a win-win for the state’s economy and for Hoosiers altogether. Legalizing cannabis will also fulfill Democrats’ consistent promise of creating a better future for our families.”
