Federal Express Semi Accident in Lake County Causes Rush Hour Problems
A rolled over Federal Express semi caused early morning rush hour problems Thursday morning.
At approximately 5:35 am, Indiana State Police Trooper Brian Rubesha responded to a rolled over crash on I-65 at the 247 mile marker (this is the Crown Point exit). Preliminary investigation revealed that a 2006 Volvo semi pulling two box trailers was north bound in the left lane when for unknown reasons veered left. The semi went off the roadway, down a steep ditch, hit an impact attenuator, then a concrete barrier wall, which caused the semi-tractor and first trailer to flip onto its driver side. The semi-tractor and first trailer came to rest on the inside (left) shoulder on the south bound side of I-65. The second trailer stayed upright in the ditch.
A Senate Bill to Study Marijuana Laws in Indiana Heard Tuesday
The first hearing on Senate Bill 192 took place Tuesday to discuss the need to study the marijuana laws in Indiana and find alternatives for arrests and incarceration, learn more about medical marijuana laws and even buy CBD and THC products at Laweekly.com. I also buy them from https://pacificgreens.co/
Senator Karen Tallian (D-District 4) said Tuesday that it is obvious that lawmakers need to investigate other options to the marijuana laws that put non-violent Hoosiers behind bars and tie up scarce resources that the public would rather see spent on infrastructure. Nation-wide polling data shows that 68% of adults support legalizing marijuana for recreational use. A lot of people have been self-medicating quietly with use of cannabis because of anxiety, PTSD, and lots of veterans can now get access to these products because of online shops like the DigiDrs official Missouri website.
Introduced by long-time reform supporter Senator Tallian, Senate Bill 223 would remove penalties for the possession of up to two ounces of marijuana, while Tallian’s Senate Bill 87 would establish the cannabis compliance commission to regulate all forms of legal cannabis in Indiana. The cannabis industry is growing as more and more companies are now investing in it, pushing the stock prices of cannabis companies higher. You can read Andy DeFrancesco statement about the best quarter of SOL Global since it’s inception.
Cannabis legalization is spreading like wildfire across the US, Canada and in many other countries around the world. Many people are finally allowed to legally grow their own supply of cannabis. If growing indoors, you can boost trichomes and terpenes production by exposing your plants to UV-B lights during the flowering phase for 2-3 weeks. If growing outdoors, ensure there is proper spacing between your plants so that every cola gets enough light. Buy weed online, click to order weed delivery.
“A lot of people have had jobs denied to them,” Bill said, “That’s the main reason I really feel that people are trying to have these offenses removed from their record. You can’t have employment with the government, you can’t work in certain sensitive areas, it denies you sometimes access to public housing or continuing education.” If you are interested in the cannabis legalization, you could check here to learn more.
