(Indianapolis, IN) - A man wanting to become Indiana’s top law enforcement officer is calling on the state to legalize marijuana.

Democrat Jonathan Weinzapfel is running for Attorney General.  He says legalizing marijuana would reduce prison and jail populations and general millions of dollars for public education.

Weinzapfel said tax dollars from selling pot would also help the state recover economically from the pandemic.  He’s running against republican Congressman Todd Rokita.
