The following is a summary of a previously recorded interview. To hear the complete segment, click the audio above.
Earlier this month, the State Supreme Court handed down a ruling that is being interpreted as making medical marijuana dispensaries illegal.
That February 8 ruling has marijuana users and the dispensaries essentially going "underground," relying on word of mouth.
Now comes a new chapter in Michigan's Medical Marijuana story.
State Representative Mike Callton, a Republican from Nashville in Southwest Michigan is sponsoring a bill that would let local communities decide whether or not to allow medical marijuana dispensaries.
His House Bill 4271 is being called "The dispensing bill".
State Representative Mike Callton joined us over the phone to tell us more about the bill and why he is supporting it.
