As Indiana lawmakers look to reform the state’s marijuana policy in the 2026 session, a new poll finds that nearly three in five residents support legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use.

Ball State University’s (BSU) Bowen Center’s annual Hoosier Poll asked 600 Native Americans about policy issues ranging from congressional redistricting to marijuana legalization.

It found that 59 percent of residents are in favor of legalizing cannabis, both for purposes and recreational purposes. An additional 25 percent return allowing patients to access medical marijuana, bringing total support for that reform to 84 percent.

“In the last year or two, you’ve seen almost exponential growth in support, and then non-traditional support, and by that I mean employers (and) parents, not your typical college-age kid or high school person,” Andrew Bauman, executive director of The Bowen Center. say Inside the Indiana business.

The poll was released just days after Indiana Rep. Mitch Gore (D) effectively introduced the legislation legalize the possession and cultivation of limited amounts of marijuana. It is one of several reform options that have been tabled in the legislature so far for this year’s session.

Whether lawmakers ultimately take up any of the pending measures remains to be seen, but cannabis reform advocates generally he struggled to get ahead in the conservative legislature in recent years

That said, the state’s GOP governor recently called out President Donald Trump’s move to federally deregulate marijuana. He could add “some fire” to the local push to legalize cannabis in his state. A month later, Trump signed an executive order directing the attorney general to remove cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).

Meanwhile, a member of the state’s congressional delegation, Sen. Jim Banks (R-IN), opposed statewide reform even as he anticipated Trump’s decision to reorganize in earlier comments.

“President Trump has been honest, when it comes to marijuana, he’s made it very clear that we shouldn’t be sniffing it on the street. You have a lot of states that have legalized it. It’s caused even more crime and problems,” Banks said. “I hope Indiana never becomes a state that legalizes marijuana, by the way.”

The senator admitted, however, that there is likely to be “more dialogue” on the matter.

Braun, for his part, He previously said it is “probably time” to introduce therapeutic cannabis among state patients. The comments came alongside a separate poll showing that nearly 9 in 10 Indiana adults (87 percent) support the legalization of marijuana.

The main Republicans in the Legislature, however, They have openly opposed marijuana reform.

“It’s no secret that I’m not,” Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R) said at the end of 2024. “I don’t have people coming to me with really compelling medical cases to find out why it’s so beneficial. And any situation I’ve seen, it’s passing medical marijuana, it’s basically passing recreational marijuana.”

House Speaker Todd Huston (R) questioned any medical benefits associated with marijuana, calling the substance a “mental health deterrent.” He and others suggested that lawmakers in favor of reform simply want to increase state revenue.

Some Marijuana reform bills have been introduced for the 2025 session of the Indiana legislatureincluding by Reps. Jim Lucas (R) and Shane Lindauer (R), which would legalize medical marijuana for people with “severe medical conditions determined by a physician.”

More than a third of popular US hip hop and rap music videos mentioned marijuana in 2024, according to a new government-backed study. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Artists like Dre have helped fuel the trend by promoting a “cool” lifestyle, the researchers said.

According to the analysis, which was funded by the Ministry of Justice and Health of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, 37 percent of US hip hop and rap videos in the top 100 YouTube charts in 2024 contained references to cannabis, while an additional 4 percent discussed marijuana and nicotine.

That adds up to 41 percent of the genre’s top videos featuring marijuana, contributing to the cultural normalization of the plant through art.

While 41 percent of hip hop and rap music videos talked about cannabis, the study by researchers at the German Institute for Therapy and Health Research found that only 2 percent of songs from other genres originating in the US mention marijuana.

“Cannabis has been firmly anchored in the US hip-hop scene since the 1990s, and has particularly influenced artists on America’s west coast,” says the study, published in the journal Substance Use & Misuse. “Rappers like Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and The Game are particularly associated with cannabis and convey a ‘chill’ lifestyle.”

“Historically, cannabis has been embedded in American hip-hop culture through Afro-Caribbean and African-American subcultures and is in favor of widespread legalization,” they said. he said.

The study also looked at depictions of cannabis and nicotine in German music videos, and found that US trends were reversed, with nicotine being more prevalent in the videos than marijuana.

Hip-hop and rap have helped inform culture and politics over the years, and it will come as no surprise that Snoop Dogg’s influence in the US will continue to play a role in the movement.

Beyond his hit songs like “Gin and Juice,” which have become staples of cannabis music culture, Snoop has also expanded his cannabis business in recent years. Last June, for example, artist brought another direct-to-consumer hemp lifestyle platform to market under his Death Row Records label.

Snoop acquired music label Death Row Records in 2022, and the cannabis icon has used that legacy platform to create an intersection between culture and the plant.

In 2024, it also expanded the Smoke Weed Every Day (SWED) brand with a separate retail platform for consumers. sells hemp-derived cannabinoid products, smoking supplies and other merchandise.

That platform works as a directory SWED’s physical retail marijuana locations, including the Los Angeles dispensary and a Cafe in Amsterdam.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel recognized Snoop’s cannabis legacy in 2023 the artist’s birthday, October 20, was called “a new high holiday”. DoggFather’s Day.

While he may be known as a lavish consumer, Snoop has championed reform, meaning Calling for a policy change in the NBA to allow players to freely use cannabis off the court

He said last year that he supported the reform “on the medical side, on the health benefits and if it could really help alleviate opioids and the pills and injections that are given.”

Snoop has long been supporting athletic organizations to adopt soft marijuana policiesoften emphasizing the point that cannabis can serve as a less addictive and risky alternative to prescription opioids.

Meanwhile, underscoring an anecdotal observation common among cannabis users, a group of Canadian researchers released a study in 2024 indicating that marijuana can make music more enjoyable. concluded that “cannabis’ effect on auditory experience may be generally enhanced” compared to simple listening.

A separate study published in 2021 examined the intersection of music and psilocybin-assisted therapy and it undermined the conventional wisdom that classical music is somehow more effective in that environment.
