Cannabis oil is now legal in Indiana, but Governor Holcomb says that doesn’t change his opposition to doing the same for medical marijuana.
C-B-D oil doesn’t get you high, and Holcomb says he’s heard from many Hoosiers who believe it’s helped them with pain. He says he was happy to make it accessible, after a failed attempt to do so last year. Holcomb says marijuana is a completely different story. He argues it’s frequently been a gateway to deadlier drugs.
And Holcomb says the federal government would need to resolve what he calls a “hodgepodge” of contradictory guidance before Indiana even considers legalization.
Legislators may assign a study committee to look at the issue this summer.
