Vote this fool out!! Holding millions of people hostage!!! Get him out!!!!!!!!!!
He’s certainly not getting my vote for governor.
Holcomb is term limited. Cannot run for re-election in 2024.
I know many people that have moved out or don’t want to move to Indiana because of these backwards laws and goofy worthless nerds you fools voted in!! Legalize immediately!!!!!!!!!! Or get!!!!! Indiana is a High State!!! Regardless but losing Money because of Clowns!!!!!
So, your friends don’t want to come to Indiana because they can’t fire up a fatty and play some Bob Marley? Makes sense to me. LOL!
Don’t get me wrong I will imbibe a little myself, but I certainly don’t let it dictate important issues in my life.
dumb. colossal waste of money – jail costs and loss of tax revenue. probably would help with the fentanyl epidemic too.
could use the jail space for real criminals.
Stupid decision.
What I find amusing is this is the response when the actions at the Federal level do not fit their agenda, however, when issues DO fit their agenda….say….abortion….well then the states MUST make the rules. Holcomb is a total joke…..
Unaware, underinformed, and out of touch with the majority of his voting constituents!
Let the potheads move to a more liberal state. That way everyone would be happy. We do not need legalization of more drugs. Biden’s bill is also a non-factor and is just trying to drum up votes. “Millions of people being held hostage” is a bit of an exaggeration or maybe that comment was made by a stoner who is out of touch with reality.
This is a when issue, not an if issue. Nothing to do with potheads. There is a significant white collar portion of the population that responsibly uses (yes, many people even in Indiana) and you would probably never guess who they are. We now have anecdotal evidence from the states that did non-criminalize that society didn’t fall apart.
The fact is that we already have an overcrowded jail system that has huge costs associated with it. We should be focused on those who commit violent or large scale crime, not people who got caught on a possession charge. We need to pick our battles, and by potentially taking away parents from families we are creating more children who will be more prone to committing crimes far worse.
This is where I grow weary of all the people who wave “freedom” in my face all day long, cover themselves and their vehicles in the flag. Act like tough guys with “dont tread on me” stickers on their cars. If we are going to be free, let everyone do what they want as long as it is not infringing on others. You want guns, but not MJ, you want freedom of religion, but also abortion bans.
Admit it, what you really want is the freedom to live in your version of a perfect world. Not really freedom.
Ryan S. is completely correct! Freedom as long as it fits our agenda. Ever wonder why Holcomb and the rest of the Republicans in the statehouse WON’T allow the citizens of Indiana to vote on things like abortion and weed legalization? Perhaps they are afraid of what the majority of Hoosiers truly want. Not saying expanding abortion rights or decriminalizing weed would pass, but the ability to actually vote and truly have our voices heard would be nice for a change.
All great comments here on this subject. The fact of the matter is with that “We the People” have not given the Federal Government the the responsibility to rein over these issues. The US Constitution is very clear in the responsibilities of the Federal Government an the 10th amendment is very clear what is to happen with all other issues.
If “We the People” want to take back control from the Centralized Establishment Government in DC, we need to elect Governors who understand the separation of power and not relinquish States rights.
I was recently driving past the first Illinois exit on I-74 and noticed a large pot dispensary building 100 yards from the highway. There was a line circling the building with several hundred people, outside in the 30° weather, waiting to go in to buy their recreational marijuana. I bet 3/4 of them were from Indianapolis.
