As Michigan communties begin to wrestle with local decisions about medical marijuana in the wake of the state’s new law, some people in Goshen are hoping for an expansion of Indiana’s current laws.

The group who met Sunday are proponents of making medical marijuana more available in the Hoosier State, which has several bills in the statehouse dealing with the question.

WSBT says Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill believes the state should stand firm in keeping all forms of marijuana illegal.

An IU-South Bend professor and a retired military nurse were among those who spoke about the potential medical benefits during Sunday’s discussion.

The Indiana legislature passed its first bill in favor of medical marijuana in April, but it’s limited and only allows people with a certain type of epilepsy to use marijuana-derived oil.
