Marijuana is no longer regarded as a “gateway” that will lead to the use of addictive drugs that result in about 115 deaths by overdose every day throughout America.

The chances of Indiana legalizing medical pot are slim in 2018, but several legislators including Seymour Republican Representative Jim Lucas have pledged to make some changes.

Weed has two main active ingredients, Cannabidiol (CBD) oil and Tetrahydrocannabinol (TCH). CBD has medicinal properties while THC makes people high. In 2017, Gov. Eric Holcomb signed into law House Bill 1148 that allowed patients with epilepsy to use Cannabidiol oil for their condition. This new law…
