INDIANA HOUSE CALLS FOR STUDY OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA
INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indiana House has passed a resolution calling for
a study of the benefits of medical marijuana.
The resolution was approved Thursday without opposition and comes as
29 other states have passed laws allowing medical marijuana in some
form.
Republican majority leader Matt Lehman of Berne says it's time for a
legislative study committee to conduct its own research.
The measure is backed by Rep. Jim Lucas, a Libertarian-leaning
Republican from Seymour is an outspoken advocate for legalizing
medical marijuana.
During a floor debate Lucas held up a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of
aspirin and a pack of cigarettes. He said all were common items
derived from plants or trees, but none are as contentious as marijuana.
No action on legalizing medical marijuana is expected before next
year.
