Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has indicated he is open to revisiting the state’s marijuana policy as neighboring states expand legal access and as the Trump administration moves to reclassify some marijuana products under federal law. Sen. Jim Banks, also a Republican, has urged Braun to maintain Indiana’s prohibitions, warning that legalization could worsen addiction and public-safety risks.
