US: Indiana Democratic Governor candidate introduces new cannabis plan

Jennifer McCormick, the Democratic candidate for Indiana governor, has released her Commonsense Cannabis Legalization Plan calling for the legalization of cannabis in a "responsible and well-regulated industry."

McCormick's plan focuses on five key components to create a framework for the Hoosier state to transition to "full adult-use cannabis." The gubernatorial candidate's plan discusses the economic and social benefits the Hoosier state would receive by legalizing marijuana for medical use before transitioning to recreational purposes for all eligible adults.

"Indiana is an island of prohibition surrounded by states with legal cannabis industries," said McCormick. "By taking a responsible, phased approach, we can ensure that our state is prepared for full adult-use legalization while immediately providing relief through medical marijuana."
