Vice President of the United States, Mike Pence, has not held back his dislike for marijuana. Just like Boozman, he strongly believes that weed is a gateway drug. One that will lead to users experimenting with harder substances.

In 2013, Pence refused to accept House Bill 1006 because of its clause to lower marijuana charges. Rather than lowering the charges, he fought back in an attempt to raise the penalties for cannabis possession to a Class B misdemeanor.

Despite the opinion of the majority of Hoosiers, Pence has done everything in his power to keep Indiana’s tough drug laws alive.
