This issue is not really about the health and welfare of the American public as the "law makers" would like you to believe, its simply about the money and nothing else. If you are arrested for breaking the law with an ounce of Mary Jane, the law will steal your possessions, steal your money and throw you in jail to get even more money from you in court fees, probation and whatever else they can tag you with to take your money. the US court system is big big business, some would even compare it to organized crime. The state of Indiana is a huge dealer of "legal" drugs such as oxycodone, Vicodin, perquisite and on and on. Eli Lilly has a wide swath of supporters in the state of Indiana, the majority of the supporters being made rich from all the destruction to the American family's these legal drugs have ravaged. Not long ago the folks that make the fentanyl patch put up several million dollars to block the legalization of mary jane, I wonder what they are afraid of? When "law makers" hide behind the statement its a gateway drug and its bad for your health, rest assured they have lined their pockets with the pain of American addiction that Eli lily has turned golden. Make no mistake about pot legalization, its all about the cash the criminals in the American legal system don't want to give up. -

It is inconceivable to think about the amount of time, effort and money law enforcement has given to marijuana. Free people in a free country should be allowed to grow and smoke marijuana if they want. I am way more concerned about the I-69 extension that will soon provide a direct route from Canada to Mexico. Heroin and other much more harmful drugs will pour into our state, but the mind set is let's go after the pot smoker, such a SOFT target.REPORT COMMENTS

I feel that legalizing this plant would do wonders for so many people who are sick. Seeing how many people have flocked to other states to get better medical treatment options is saying a lot. Using something that is natural from the earth and not made in a lab is not only better treatment, but also healthier for our bodys, especially the liver. Please consider helping the people who are suffering and dying due to the amount of medications they are on.REPORT COMMENTS

I don't currently use marijuana but if it became legal in the state of Indiana I would like to use it for the generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder that I have suffered from for more than a decade. I've tried many prescriptions for anxiety and the only one that works is benzodiazepine, which is much more addictive and dangerous than marijuana in my opinion.REPORT COMMENTS

I've been smoking cannabis for many years. I have a wife and 4 awesome children. I believe it helps with the stresses of life and I belive being a grown man I should have the right to self medicate with anything I choose. The only thing dangerous about cannabis is getting arrested for it.REPORT COMMENTS

As someone who sufffers with severe depression and anxiety as well as back pain, this would definitely help to relieve any back pain and would most certainly lift my mood when I happen to feel anxious or depressed. I also have a friend who has severe epilepsy and often has strokes leading into seizures. This would definitely help him as well!REPORT COMMENTS

As a none drinker this would help out alot. I mean come on people are aloud to get drunk and do dumb things that they bearly remember doing, wake up feeling like crap, black out, hurt others, try to drive, and list keeps going for all the bad things drinking does to a person. With marijuana it helps people eat, sleep, enjoy life, helps with pain, anxiety, and the list keeps going for all kinds of good things it can help with. There's no point in going to jail over marijuana. NONE. If marijuana was legal I'd never pick up another cigarette ever. Look there's another good thing about marijuana. Why take a ton of piles that only make you feel off, weak, unable to move, can't wake up and do anything cuz your having to take a pile cuz if you done you feel horrible, the list keeps going. When you could smoke/eat some marijuana and be good without all the crazy side effects of all those piles. Look at all the children marijuana has helped in the last few years when nothing else did. It's time to wake up and realize that marijuana isn't as bad as people make it out to be.REPORT COMMENTS

Honestly, Cannabis has been proven to treat successfully many, many, illnesses and diseases. Such as Multiple Sclerosis, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Type 1, Type 2, AND Type 3, Epilepsy, Depression, Anxiety, and Alzheimer. Oh, and let's not forget to add in Cancer (Ya know, the disease no one can seem to find a cure for.). There has been an abundance amount of tests and theories ran through the use of Cannabis and every single outcome has been positive. It would save lives and heal wounded ones if we just legalized Marijuana.REPORT COMMENTS

Medically it would help so many people. And personally I would much rather be able to be told that I can use something natural that will actually help, rather than something that is full of man mad chemicals produced in a lab that doesn't seem to do anything except for make me feel worse or if it does help after so long either stop or cause lasting damage to my body.REPORT COMMENTS

Marijuana shouldn't be a criminal defense. Alcohol is legal and people get drunk and beat their wives and children. Marijuana is illegal and people smoke it and go home and have the best meal/sleep. Half of the drug arrest in the US is marijuana related. This is a non-violent offense and people are serving live sentences. Do you see the problem here?REPORT COMMENTS
