If marijuana is legalize in Indiana we can afford more cops and it will reduce the crime rate in Indiana if it's legalize. We can make medical oils to help kids or adults with medical problems and help beat cancer. So legalize marijuana in IndianaREPORT COMMENTS

Marijuana needs to be legalized. It is proven that Marijuana is more safe than alcohol and much more safe than any drug. It has been proven to have health benefits as well.REPORT COMMENTS

Re-Legalize it!! Eli Lilly used to stock this miracle plant....why? Because it works! If it were legal, kids wouldn't be exposed to the harder drugs...end of story. The compounds in Cannabis Sativa have been PROVEN to kill cancer, re-grow damaged nerves be it from a stroke, brain damage from injury, MS, Bells Paulsy to name a few. It's been proven to be twice as effective anti-inflamatory as acetaminophen, five times as affective pain reliever, and the list goes on and on. Figure it out...we are an educated society and will be heard....if not by the current members, they WILL be replaced by someone who can get the job done. What kind of BS is it when people who are voted into office fail MISERABLY at giving the great citizens of our Hoosier state the respect we diserve by allowing us to medicate how we choose?????......it's the deepest kind of BS, that's what!REPORT COMMENTS

Its not about the "harm" that this herb causes, rather, it's about control. There are more reasons to legalize cannabis, than there are to keep It illegal.REPORT COMMENTS

37,485 people died from prescription drugs, a rate fueled by overdoses on prescription pain and anxiety medications, versus 36,284 from traffic accidents. 0 people have died throughout the history of cannabis use. It replaces all treatments that prescription drugs claim to effectively treat. The people are being denied medication and are dying and going to prison for treating their families. The suffering and struggles of cannabis prohibition are rising and the people see how inhumane and unconstitutional it is to keep such a universal medicine banned. A medicine that is such a laughable subject to the president surprisingly has no physical withdraw properties, non addictive propertities (especially compared to it's pharmaceutical counterpart) and given the fact that you can't overdose on marijuana in itself proves the non risk treatment it provides. This prohibition is not for the people. It is against the people and if the congress believes that the pharmaceutical pharmageddon that is killing thousands annually is better than ending the cannabis prohibition, then this country is truly at disarray and those running and deciding for us have failed yet again at saving the lives of their people.REPORT COMMENTS

Even as cannabis laws evolve in the United States, innumerable families risk legal repercussions for treating their children. In Kansas, cannabis activist Shona Banda faces 30 years in prison for treating her Crohn?s disease with cannabis oil and sharing her method of treatment with others. Her son was taken from her, and her home raided after he touted cannabis oil?s benefits for his mother at an anti-drug presentation. Convoluted regulations also make treatment difficult. One Des Moines mother is allowed to possess oil to treat her epileptic son but must take him outside to the parking lot of his care facility twice a day to administer treatment. A New Jersey family is suing their school district for their daughter?s right to administer cannabis treatment for epilepsy and autism at school. Other families are picking up and moving to states that do allow medical cannabis use. This is the case with Hillary Rayburn, who moved from Oklahoma to Colorado to obtain cannabis for her child?s epilepsy. Though individuals and families still face heart-wrenching restrictions, the trend toward cannabis legalization has already begun. Parents who engage in civil disobedience by treating their children not only help change the perception of the treatment but help chip away at the decaying infrastructure of prohibition. By standing up to unjust and inhumane laws in the face of increasing medical research on cannabis, parents are helping to change the landscape of the Drug War and medicine. Kids are hopping on the cannabis civil disobedience train, as well. Speaking at a recent symposium for medical cannabis research, 15-year-old Coltyn Turner explained that he?d ?rather be illegally alive [by using cannabis oil] than legally dead.?REPORT COMMENTS

Very unconstitutional that in our state it is a crime to use the same medication and receive the same treatment as our neighboring states, I have family and friends the have died a slow and painful death from cancer and suffer from epilepsy and migraines and they are and were upstanding law abiding citizens and refuse and refused to use the treatment of cannabinoids because they are illegal, But on the other hand it's ok for Pharmaceutical Company to keep flooding the market with real dangerous that have a list of side effects longer than the illness they claim to help, and most of those side effects include death, Our government just needs to admit they are wrong so we can move on, I'm sure the money that will be saved and earned by the government will help make up for the money that is contributed by the pharmaceutical company's and we will see a lot less deaths of accidental overdose, I don't even use cannabinoids but I will when i feel i need to and it would be nice if it wasn't a crime when I decide to and I sure's the hell dont want to see anyone else sufferREPORT COMMENTS

The job of congress is to protect human liberty and enforce Tort Law, not make statutes which are basically worthless opinions that are enforced by police. Marijuana among other natural plants should have never been illegal. It is not the governments job to define things. All things unto all people. You need to start doing right, or step down and get a real job... Im sorry I was born into this crappy world. Im glad I didnt have kids. Thats less tax revenue for our corrupt society. :}REPORT COMMENTS

Make this happen marijuana is a positive natural medication. I'm a vet and I have issues going to sleep at night this is a natural remedy that helps get me through. I've got a family to support and a full-time job I can't risk using it cause I could lose my job,but if it was legal for medical applications it would help out immensely. I'm a conservative republican and I vote yes to legalize marijuana it should not be a democratic or republican issue this choice should be given to the people of Indiana. Less government regulation more individual rights as a republican this is what I believe in and expect from the conservative republican leaders I have voted to elect. A boost for the economy is an additional positive.REPORT COMMENTS

The needs of the many have been voiced and we won't be ignored. Congress! Stop wasting time pursuing your own agenda and make pleas come to fruition. I ask, "What are you worried about?" Here are your pointless concerns! Lie #1) Marijuana is a gateway drug. It isn't! I know more than a few people who have been able to fight their metth, heroine, alcohol, gambling, tobacco, and every other addiction using the same plant you claim is a path to hard drug use. The only gateway marijuana opens in that to a healthy life, full of love, family, and care for your naighbor. Lie #2) Marijuana is bad for your health. Marijuana fights cancer, helping some achieve remission allowing radiation to be more effective and providing relive from crippling nausea. It replaces many prescriptions varying from pain killers to anti anxiety, which hold a very high possibility for abuse and negative side affects. Lie #3) Legalization will make it easier for children to get weed. Children already have weed and they are going to the south side of evansville to get it. The most dangerous part of town. If you legalized it would be just as hard for them to get as any other regulated substance. Lie #4) Marijuana impairs you. No. All things in moderation. Weed 3, by sonjay gupta debunks your fears in the last few minutes with the testimony of a neurosurgeon conducting a study of the brain using high tech medical facilities. Lie #5) Supporting this issue will kill your political career. FIGHTING THIS ISSUE IS KILLING YOUR CAREER. Lie #6) Marijuana is illegal because it is bad. No, marijuana is illegal because past presidents needed a scapegoat to remove the public eye from issues such as watergate and Iran-Contra. Marijuana is illegal because our law makers want to make money off imprisoning the masses, nothing more. Lie #7) Legalization wont hurt the drug cartels. Well keeping it illegal is what they privately lobby for so i doubt it. You give the money straight to mexico with your old style of thinking. Don't be a fool. Lie #8) Marijuana makes you dumb. No, believing the blatant lies of past administrations in the face of current scientific proof makes you dumb, but you stay in office somehow. Marijuana can potentially raise revenue for schools, public service, and even a police force which is currently demonized for pursuing such arrests. Lie #9) The police don't want to see it legalized. Our own superintendent said he would legalize and tax it. I hear police tell me all the time they don't like doing this. Lie #10) Marijuana is addictive. Once again, marijuana should be used as a tool for rehabilitation, rather than a cause to be rehabilitated. Would you rather have your masses smoking meth or weed? Lie #11) Marijuana kills motivation. I guess thats why over half of the service industry is using it to deal with the *******s who berate them everyday WHILE THEY GET THE JOB DONE. Lie #12) MarijuaREPORT COMMENTS

It is important that the prohibition of Marijuana end; starting with every state. The many uses and benefits for marijuana aside from recreational has been proven in various ways. There have been many medical break throughs with more to come. The people struggling for medicine when pharmacuticals do more damage than good, the same outcome is far greater when medicating with cannabis. Food, oil, housing, fuel, textiles, and body care products can all be produced by the same source: hemp. It takes many years to grow a tree. Replace that source with hemp and the nation has an unlimited amount of product that is grown in a fraction of the time. Not only would the legalization of marijuana benefit the people medically but it would also increase the quality and efficiency of our lifestyles.REPORT COMMENTS
