(La Porte County, IN) - If you buy marijuana legally in Michigan, it's important to remember it’s against the law to bring it into Indiana.

 

That’s what two out-of-state people learned after being caught in La Porte with 15 pounds of dispensary marijuana products.

 

According to the La Porte County Sheriff’s Office, they were in a vehicle that was stopped Sunday for speeding on the Indiana Toll Road near Rolling Prairie. The investigation revealed that the man and woman inside the vehicle were from Wisconsin, and had gone to a dispensary in Buchanan, Michigan.

 

Apparently, they were heading back to Wisconsin.

 

Various marijuana products such as joints, gummies, and drinks had been purchased and contained inside four large paper bags in the vehicle.

 

One of the individuals explained they were just “passing through” upon being informed that dispensary marijuana, although legal, is still against the law in Indiana.

 

The products were seized and placed into evidence just in case charges were filed against the individuals, both 49 and 43-years-old.  They were allowed to go after being issued a warning ticket for speeding.
