good point, pipeline! MANY medicines have intoxicating effects , why are some people fixated on trying to find something wrong with cannabis ? never heard any "drug warrior" bitching about valiums or any other pill being an intoxicant.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Indiana's Republican candidate for governor, U.S. Senator Mike Braun, is in the final stretch of campaigning in Jeffersonville just 10 days until Election Day.

"I'm going to be entrepreneurial, I'm going to be accessible, and I'm going to get along with our legislature," Braun said. "That's how you take Indiana to a place it's never been before."



His challenger, Democrat and former State Superintendent Jennifer McCormick, spoke with WHAS11 News earlier this month.

"As I've traveled, I'm listening to a lot of people – Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Libertarians - and they're all saying the same thing," McCormick said. "A lot of it's about women's reproductive rights and freedoms, it's about access to affordable healthcare, education and good paying jobs."

On Saturday, the Indiana GOP was riding around the state with their candidates. Braun was making his case for governor.

"The biggest thing that separates me from my opponent is her experience of never signing the front side of a paycheck and wanting to run a business with 32,000 employees and 80 agencies - 30 major ones."

McCormick made her case.

"We also know that the urgency to fight against that extremism is meeting the energy right now of the moment," McCormick said. "When you get that, you win."

One top issue for Indiana voters is cannabis.

“I think medical marijuana is going to be a big discussion - whether we’ll get it across the finish line this year. I think there would be the appetite to make a big effort to do so," Braun said. "When it comes to the recreational side, I'll be taking my cue from law enforcement because they'll be the ones who will have to put up with the consequences of it if we don't get it right."

McCormick said first, she's advocating for a regulatory commission for medical-use cannabis.

"Then, go into adult use," McCormick said. "Making sure that we are taking advantage of the estimated – conservative – $170 million in the first year of revenue. But also, the hundreds, if not thousands of jobs that can come with legalizing cannabis."

Both continue to campaign less than two weeks away from knowing which candidate will be filling the seat of Indiana governor.

It's because of the commercial campaign exposing the bill's connection to a new big bis pot companies

Hopefully the lawmakers will take up the issue and pass a bill. The majority approves legalization.
