New laws

I heard a recap on this evening's news of some new laws just passed for the state of Indiana.  First, growing hemp will now be legal. Can legalized marijuana be far behind?  I have mixed feelings about this.  I do think medical marijuana can be a real blessing for some people.
The second law says that 'revenge porn' is illegal, punishable by up to a year in jail.  In case you're not sure what 'revenge porn' is (I had never heard of this) it happens when one party, upset over a romatic break up, shares lewd, revealing pictures of his or , ex, intended for private viewing, with the cyber world.  I can't help wondering why anyone would send pictures like that to anyone else in the first place.  Use a little common sense people.
And finally the third new law that attracted my attention.  Evidently more types of sports betting and casino gambling are now legal. This really won't impact me much unless someone floats a casino boat on the St. Mary's or builds a casino as part of Headwater's Park.  Ah well, a girl can dream.
