NORML lobbying Indiana legislators to sponsor
industrial hemp bill
In response to an overwhelming demand by citizens and government alike to
look towards alternative sources of fuel Indiana NORML is currently lobbying
legislators to sponsor an industrial hemp bill. Such a bill will not only
provide a safer and more cost efficient means to alternative fuels then corn and
soy but it will also provide a much needed economic source to Hoosier farmers.
Industrial hemp can be used for over 10,000 products including but not limited
to plastic, paper, material, fuel, dyes and inks, food sources, and cosmetics.

NORML lobbying Indiana legislators to sponsor
medical marijuana bill
With the growing number of states passing medical marijuana bills and the
overwhelming support of over 90% of American citizens for medical marijuana
Indiana NORML is now lobbying Indiana legislators to sponsor a medical
marijuana bill.
When Executive Director, Beth Soloe asked Governor Mitch Daniels during his
campaign debates in New Albany, IN, what his feelings were on medical marijuana,
Governor Daniels responded "I support medical marijuana as long as I can be
assured it will not be used for recreational purposes". The bill, which was
drafted by Beth Soloe using examples of California and New Mexico's medical
marijuana bills, does just this. It is intended solely for the purpose of
medical marijuana and outlines penalties for people trying to abuse the law and
provides false information in order to obtain medical marijuana.
