US: Cannabis bills fail to advance in Indiana Legislature
MJBiz Daily Wednesday 26 Feb 2025 Several cannabis-related bills in Indiana, including one that would legalize an adult-use market, failed to advance in the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature. House Bill 1630 aimed to establish a regulated program and allow those 21 and older to purchase, possess and consume marijuana. Other proposals that failed, according to Indiana Capital Chronicle, included: Establishing a medical marijuana program. Decriminalizing possession of 2 ounces or less of flower. Banning marijuana-related advertisements. The adult-use legalization bill, championed by advocates Safe & Regulated Indiana, was viewed as a long shot for passage considering that Indiana’s House and Senate leaders are vocal critics of marijuana legalization efforts. There was some hope new Republican Gov. Mike Braun, who was sworn in January, could change the state’s long-held policy of prohibition. Top GOP lawmakers also highlighted lowering property taxes as a priority this session, with some bipartisan agreement that marijuana taxation could ease rising taxes for homeowners. Indiana is one of nine states without a medical or adult-use marijuana legalization law, according to MJBizDaily research. https://mjbizdaily.com/cannabis-bills-fail-to-advance-in-indiana-legislature/
