Marijuana discussion hits Indiana

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTHI) - You may think legalizing marijuana is an issue only for folks in California.

However, recent law changes in the Golden State have brought the issue to Indiana.

Senator Tim Skinner told News 10 he's gotten plenty of emails in the last few months pushing for marijuana to be made legal.

"It's been surprising to me because there's not ever been this level of activity on this subject certainly since I've been in the senate for the last 8 years or so," State Senator Tim Skinner said.

While he's heard more discussion on the issue, Senator Skinner doesn't believe marijuana will be made legal in the Hoosier State any time in the near future.
