Michigan Dispensary Regulations and Edibles Bills to Reach Governor

A set of bills to legalize edible forms of medical marijuana and regulate the sale of medical marijuana through dispensaries are on their way to Gov. Rick Snyder after a final approval by the Michigan House of Representatives on Wednesday.

The bills work in concert to address the effects of court rulings that have left marijuana dispensaries and edibles in a legal grey area.
