Indiana senator introduces bill that would legalize marijuana in the state
An Indiana senator introduced two new bills last week, which would legalize and regulate marijuana in the state. Senator Karen Tallian introduced SB 87 and 223 which would allow for the regulation and legalization of marijuana.SB 87 would establish a cannabis compliance commission to regulate all forms of legal cannabis in Indiana, including industrial hemp and low THC hemp extract. Currently in Indiana, a person can be charged with possession of marijuana for having any amount of it on them. SB 223 would raise the amount to two ounces in order for a person to be charged. It would also repeal the offense as a level 6 felony. “Arrests for marijuana possession made up 45% of all drug arrests from 2010-18 in Indiana. Contextually, Black Hoosiers are 3.5 times more likely to be arrested for the possession of marijuana. Our neighboring states have made efforts to address unjust marijuana laws, and it’s time for us to do the same,” Tallian said.

U.S. Census Bureau Wants To Collect Marijuana Tax Revenue Data From States
The U.S. Census Bureau has announced that it plans to begin collecting data on marijuana tax revenue generated by state governments around the country. The federal agency tracks state tax data as part of quarterly reports it issues to provide benchmark financial indicators and inform economic research. Moving forward, it intends for those documents to include cannabis tax data, it said in a notice set to be published in the Federal Register on Friday. “Tax collection data are used to measure economic activity for the Nation as a whole, as well as for comparison among the various states,” it said. “We plan to add the collection of cannabis and sports betting sales taxes.” The Bureau said the new additions will “modernize the survey’s content to maintain the relevancy and sustainability of these data.”

One Plant ranks 11th in Florida in the number of dispensaries but is in the top five in per-store sales of smokable flower, according to state data. Bluma also has 54,000 square feet of cultivation space.
