Who?
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN)
LISTEN: Laslo & Braun
Ask a Pol asks:
What do you think about the DEA — Drug Enforcement Administration — trying to reschedule marijuana?
Key Braun:
“That doesn’t surprise me, because it's kinda cascading across the country, the nullification anyway,” Sen. Mike Braun exclusively told Ask a Pol. “Where it ends up and what they do with it remains to be seen.”
Caught our ear per relaxing Indiana cannabis laws:
“It's gonna be a moot point here in a few years anyway,” Braun told us. “It looks like we're just sliding along with the process.”
SAFER Banking Act?
Have you looked at the SAFER Banking Act?
“That’s all related to it as well, because they want us to make sure they can bank and it currently has a Class I classification,” Braun said. “Makes it tough, so…”
Yeah?
