Gov. Eric Holcomb admits he's smoked marijuana, still doesn't support legalization

[TexasTowelie]

Gov. Eric Holcomb admitted at a press conference Wednesday that he smoked weed while in college.

The question came up during Wednesday’s wide-ranging news conference, when Holcomb was asked about his stance on legalization. The governor was then asked if he had ever used marijuana.

Hoosiers with high hopes for the legalization of medical or recreational marijuana still shouldn't look for an ally in Holcomb, though. The governor said he wouldn't support legalization until federal law is changed, at which point the state could review it.

"If the law changed, we would look at all the positive or adverse impacts it would have," he said. "I'm not convinced other states have made a wise decision."
