1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: They're trying to make sure that they match a bill

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: that would alter the state's definition of hemp to match

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: the federal definition of hemp. It recently passed the Indiana Senate.

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: It's now going to move to the Indiana House of Representatives.

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: And what are they trying to do also with this

6
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: bill besides making the definition match on this from the

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: state level to the federal level. They've got some provisions

8
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: in this bill. It's Center Bill two fifty, and they

9
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: want some restrictions for anybody who is under twenty one.

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: Anyone under twenty one can't enter stores that primarily sell

11
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 1: tobacco or THC products, and they also can't purchase hemp

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: based THHC products, and they have to show ID for purchases.

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: Indiana lawmakers love doing this. They love regulating cannabis adjacent

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: products but refusing to touch anything related to the cannabis

15
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: direct product.

16
00:00:58,400 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: Marijuana.

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.

18
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 2: Despite the fact that we've got either recreational or medical

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: or both legalized in every state that touches US Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio,

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: and Michigan, all of those states are generating millions in

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: tax dollars from the sale of real marijuana Indiana, of course,

22
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 2: still not touching that, but some context here this goes

23
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 2: back to what's called delta eight, and it is it

24
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: is similar to THHC in the way that normal marijuana reacts,

25
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: but it's not quite as powerful, and it's they've kind

26
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: of found a loophole in the law and to where

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 2: you can go into stores and buy this today.

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: Think of it as potlight.

29
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: Remember I'm going to date age myself here, but way

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: way back when I think in the seventies, in certain

31
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: states had.

32
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 3: Two three beer. I think that's what it was called

33
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: two three.

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: Beer, and if you were eighteen years old you could

35
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: drink that, and it was called two three I think

36
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: because it had two thirds of the alcohol of a

37
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 2: normal beer. So if you think of that, that's kind

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: of what delta eight is like. It's like it's marijuana light.

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: And part of this is creating regulations associated with that.

40
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: High THHC products are banned currently in Indiana. And speaking

41
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: of the federal alignment, if marijuana is reclassified federally, the

42
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: Indiana legislature, not automatic law, would decide whether to follow suit,

43
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: so they could reclassify it on a federal level. But

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: here in Indiana, it doesn't mean it automatically changes. They

45
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: would have to readdress.

46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 3: That right, so that would be another thing.

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: So I mean, I guess this is Indiana legislators following

48
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: Washington's lead on this when they don't have to. I

49
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 2: didn't know that there was a huge demand to shut

50
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 2: this down. And again they're sitting here messing around with

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,399
Speaker 2: all of these cannabis adjacent industries and products and yet

52
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: refusing to address the one thing that is very popular

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 2: by all polling that's been done in the last several years.

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: At the very least, Hoosiers.

55
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: Want medical marijuana to be legalized in the state of Indiana.

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: Louisville is set to open their first medical marijuana dispensary

57
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: you had mentioned in Kentucky. It's only medicinal marijuana and

58
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: the store is going to open tomorrow and they say

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,920
Speaker 1: they're providing state compliant, lab tested medical cannabis only for

60
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: registered patients using a patient guided model.

61
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: I'm going to guess that that bridge from Indiana to

62
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 2: Kentucky right there in Louisville is going to get a

63
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 2: lot of action with.

64
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: This store opening. There are going to be a lot

65
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: of people in Southern Indiana weird Boston traffics started picking

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: up weird.

67
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 2: That's a toll bridge too, by the way, so the

68
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 2: state is going to make its money off of that
