Indiana’s in the race to the bottom of this booming industry, and leaving millions of tax dollars in the wake.
Remember when Indiana legalized casinos and put them specifically near state borders to try to get that out-of-state money?
Visionary behavior compared to today’s behavior.
If only everyone harping on this subject would use their time and energy on something more constructive than wanting to sit around and get high…
V K–
My thoughts exactly. Fundamentally, I don’t really care if its legalized, if there are good safety measures surrounding reckless and irresponsible use (there aren’t). But trying to say it’s good for the economy? Lots of bad things are still good for the economy. War is great for a certain subset of defense-minded investors. There’s terrific money to be made in legalizing fentanyl. Why not?
Absolutely no discussion among the “legalize it” crowd if yet another self-stupefying substance has anything to do with the marked uptick in vehicle fatalities (driving while high simply gets swept under the rug most of the time) or the increase in those filthy disgusting homeless junkie trash camps. Colorado was the state to pioneer all of this, and its Civic Center Plaza (a really beautiful space as recently as the early 2010s) is now just a giant Bidenville.
Eli Lilly’s 1907 doctoral thesis at the nation’s first college of pharmacy, The Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, was on cannabis. Under his leadership Eli Lilly & Co. became a world class manufacturer of cannabis based pharmaceuticals with 23 items containing cannabis for sale in 1935. It was not science but reefer madness that brought this to an end. Professors at the college still call his doctoral thesis groundbreaking.

This booming industry is unregulated and dangerous. Had a family member almost die from buying THC from a “medical use” dispensary in Illinois last year. Had seizures and was in the hospital for 17 days. The ICU docs said they see it regularly. People think that because it’s a legalized dispensary, the products are safe. They’re not. It’s not a regulated industry, the companies buying the product don’t know what’s in it. Dangerous and ridiculous, but hey, there’s more tax money to be had by the state, right? What a joke.
What EXACTLY
What exactly was the cause of your family member almost dying? I’ve NEVER heard of such a thing, other than people freaking out due to just being too high from inexperience and not knowing their own tolerance level, like alcohol. Sounds like an anomaly, as some also have to prescription drugs…
The endogenous cannabinoid system, named after the plant that led to its discovery, is perhaps the most important physiologic system involved in establishing and maintaining human health. Endocannabinoids and their receptors are found throughout the body: in the brain, organs, connective tissues, glands, and immune cells. In each tissue, the cannabinoid system performs different tasks, but the goal is always the same: homeostasis, the maintenance of a stable internal environment despite fluctuations in the external environment.
Cannabinoids promote homeostasis at every level of biological live, from the sub-cellular to the organism, and perhaps to the community and beyond, Here’s one example: autophagy, a process in which a cell sequesters part of its contents to be self-digested and recycled is mediated by the cannabinoid system. White this process keeps normal cells alive, allowing them to maintain a balance between the synthesis, degradation and subsequent recycling of cellular products, it has a deadly effect on malignant tumor cells, causing them to consume themselves in a programmed cellular suicide. The death of cancer cells, of course, promotes homeostasis and survival at the level of the entire organism.
Endocannabinoids and cannabinoids are also found at the intersection of the body’s various systems, allowing communication and and coordination between different cell types. At the site of an injury, for example, cannabinoids can be found decreasing the release of activators and sensitizers from the injured tissue, stabilizing the nerve cell to prevent excessive firing, and calming nearby immune cells to prevent release of pro-inflammatory substances. Three different mechanisms of action on three different cell types for a single purpose: minimize the pain and damage called by the injury.

“If cannabis was one of the main ingredients of the ancient anointing oil and receiving this oil is what made Jesus the Christ and his followers Christians, then persecuting those who use cannabis could be considered anti-Christ.” Chris Bennett, Historian
Two limestone monoliths, interpreted as altars, were found in the Judahite shrine at Tel Arad. Unidentified dark material preserved on their upper surfaces was submitted for organic residue analysis at two unrelated laboratories that used similar established extraction methods. On the smaller altar, residues of cannabinoids such as Δ9-teterahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN) were detected, along with an assortment of terpenes and terpenoids, suggesting that cannabis inflorescences had been burnt on it. Organic residues attributed to animal dung were also found, suggesting that the cannabis resin had been mixed with dung to enable mild heating. The larger altar contained an assemblage of indicative triterpenes such as boswellic acid and norursatriene, which derives from frankincense. The additional presence of animal fat―in related compounds such as testosterone, androstene and cholesterol―suggests that resin was mixed with it to facilitate evaporation. These well-preserved residues shed new light on the use of 8th century Arad altars and on incense offerings in Judah during the Iron Age. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03344355.2020.1732046? fbclid=lwAR14SQ0RWyhrSWdMv34AMyOXR-WJ_Kil5pHHXdh9RyllEU_Tu3EllmSsv9M&
Let’s not forget alcohol and cigarettes kill way more people than marijuana and those industries have successfully pushed for legislature to help their industry for years. We all know what happned the last time the government tried to prohibit something the public likes. That’s how Al Capone and organized crime came into existence. There’s a legit argument to be made in that there’s plenty of revenue to made for the state and that Indiana is losing out on millions to neighboring states.
