    1. I keep saying the same thing. Indiana’s government leaders keep wondering why BIG tech companies and electric battery manufacturing companies skips this state for Ohio or Tennessee. Most of these states think more progressively than here.We can no longer just brag about the low cost of living and the friendly business atmosphere here, most states have that same talking point. Indiana always wait till other states have had time to capitalize on things and then jumps in well afterwards and try to play catch up. Indy is the state capital, you should at least be able to do more here than in smaller cities in the state. We should have a RedLight district.

    2. Omigerd! We’re not progressive enough!

      Never mind the fact that your beloved tough-on-law-enforcement Prosecutor Mears has essentially gone rogue and decriminalized it in Marion County, do you really think reefer is the indicator of enlightened thinking? (Ohmygod, she said “reefer”, what is she…like seventy or something?)

      I’m comfortable with it being legalized, but it clearly isn’t facing many restrictions in terms of how people consume it (including while driving). And yet somehow “experts” shake their heads at why we have such astronomical increases in vehicle fatalities. We’re lax on drunk driving in this country too.

      The Netherlands approach, where people can legally use it in select locations, seems far better than what we see in this country where it’s been decriminalized…and people can use it pretty much anywhere and everywhere (and do).

      No thought about the negative consequences–just a goal of “keeping up with the joneses”. And the results are obvious.

  1. No need for a Redlight District Kev. We just need to move forward with medical and recreational, not to mention grow our own.
    As Robert points out, Indiana is always last, and he’s right! Even though much more than 50% of our Indiana adult and voting public uses cannabis, the good old state caucus remains in fear. Unfortunately it’s the fear of themselves, and their leadership, Time for a change in their thinking, and in the flimsy excuse of Governor Holcomb’s that the feds say it’s illegal.
