Critics and supporters of vaping lobby the Bloomington City Council as they consider including e-cigarettes in the city ordinance banning smoking in public places; Indiana lawmakers continued their push this week to pre-emptively bar universities from establishing policies to protect undocumented students; Indiana lawmakers are reportedly considering reviving a bill that would allow domestic violence victims to carry guns without licenses.

FEATURE
With medical marijuana gradually becoming a legal norm across the country, questions remain about how it works — and why. Bloomington is one of the world’s centers for research into the effects of the many types of cannabis plant. Heather Bradshaw heads a lab in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences looking into the active compounds in pot and how they may or may not be useful as medicines. She joins Michael Glab on this week’s edition of Big Talk to discuss what we know and what we need to find out.

VOICES IN THE STREET
This week’s edition asks Bloomington residents about sexual harassment in the workplace.
