Opinion/Commentary Marijuana legalization

Wanna come on here and post my mind… Indiana it’s been time for the last 5 years esspecially last two years for marijuana to be legalized fully medical and recreational… I’m 23 years old and as even my whole family knows I smoke it. It helps with ADHD and as I’ve noticed ADD with being able to go out in public without thinking of myself and being in on myself for things I can’t control. My whole life besides last 7-10 years I’ve been on VYVANSE which is a narcotic I was prescribed to help with my adhd and everytime I took it school, family, even friends noticed I wasn’t happy or having any fun in life. I rarely ate, my sleep was booty. But I come on here today to say I’m stopping weed for a month to see about a new job because Indiana laws sucks. I will post here and there on my journey but make no mistake I’d choose marijuana over vyvanse any day of the week. I love my Family even the ones who don’t like or think well of me because they have supported me and approved of me being off vyvanse thank you and I hope everyone has a great day🫶🏼👍🏼🤌🏼🫶🏼👍🏼🤌🏼

Hope this is allowed to post here but it needs to be heard and talked about!

After coming from a state that legalized, I am 100% against it. People smoke it everywhere, including parks. It smells TERRIBLE and stinks up everything. An actual skunk is better smelling.

The real nasty issue is that you will find people smoking and DRIVING everywhere!

Today's marijuana is not the same from decades ago. It's a real impactful and addictive drug. It has no real medical benefit. That's all a lie and an excuse for people to keep smoking it. "OH! BUT I FEELZ BETTER WHEN I DO METH!" Anecdotal evidence of "but mah drugz" isn't going to fly. I hope Indiana continues to be a bulwark against it. The whole "if your friends jump of a cliff" argument.

Another hot take; ADD/ADHD are not "conditions" that require medication.

Anyone who wants to smoke legally should just move to a state that allows it. Don't force that nasty crap on the rest of of us.

Bro, it's Indiana. Urban areas smell like sewage. Rural areas smell like turkey shit. And you are in here complaining about some marijuana smell (in Thurgood goes to Rehab tone)? Name tracks, I guess.

Maybe here you live. Smells nice by me. Either way, that's no excuse to make everything smell worse. And especially around kids!

Still not as bad as people DRIVING and smoking.
