Indiana lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are once again bringing bills related to marijuana reform to the table this session.
Ten bills directly related to the legalization, decriminalization or regulation of marijuana in the state of Indiana have been introduced to the Indiana House and Senate in 2021.
