The candidates in Indianaās gubernatorial election this year have each backed some form of cannabis legalization in the state but have different views on what the industry should look like.
Full story after the jump.
The candidates for Indiana governor have each backed some form of cannabis legalization in the state but have different views on what the industry should look like, the Chicago Tribune reports. The three candidates include Republican U.S. Senator Mike Braun, Democratic candidate and former Indiana Superintendent of Public Instruction Jennifer McCormick, and Libertarian Donald Rainwater.
McCormick has indicated she would first establish an Indiana Cannabis Commission which would be tasked with overseeing the industry and creating regulations. She told the Tribune that she is āa firm believerā that Indiana isĀ ālosing out on so many tax dollars and lots of jobs.ā
āMore importantly,ā she added, āweāve got a lot of Hoosiers that are saying, medically, they want that option.ā
Braun said he is open to legalizing cannabis for medical use but that he would work with law enforcement on the reforms.
āI think when it comes to medical marijuana there are a lot of groups ā veterans and others āĀ that really find beneficial use from it. Itās been cascading across the country. If the legislature takes it up, Iām going to be listening carefully and probably favorably disposed towards medical use of marijuana.ā ā Braun to the Tribune
Rainwater said he would back a policy to decriminalize and legalize cannabis broadly and expunge the criminal records of anyone with a non-violent cannabis-related arrest.
āAny reason given for continuing to criminalize the use of medical or recreational cannabis just doesnāt make sense,ā Rainwater told the Tribune. He added that he would support reducing āa lot of the restrictive, monopolistic regulationsā on the stateās hemp industry which he said would benefit hemp farmers
According to FiveThirtyEight polling, Braun leads the race between 3 and 9 points over McCormick while Rainwater garners between 6% and 9% of the vote.
