Mich. state senator looks to legalize marijuana, some non-profits object

BY LOGAN CRAWFORD SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27TH 2016

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A Michigan state senator wants to make marijuana legal for recreational use.

He says it will mean more money for the state, and it will let police focus on more violent crimes.

But some are worried it could put health at risk.

The non-profit Prevention Works, in Kalamazoo, says marijuana is sending more and more kids to the emergency room.

While some say marijuana is bad for your health, others argue it helps some people who are already sick.
