A bill was proposed this week in Michigan’s state Senate that may leave many marijuana and beer lovers upset.

The bill, which was introduced by Senator Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge, would ban the sale of marijuana-infused beers in the state regardless of if the pink was alcoholic or non-alcoholic.

Jones explained, “I’ve been studying the problems that have been created in Colorado following the legalization of marijuana. And marijuana-infused beer is a recipe for disaster.”

Currently Colorado is the only state allowing marijuana infused beer that is non-alcoholic.

“Bartenders are required right now to judge how much a patron has had to drink. It’s hard enough to do with alcohol without adding in THC,” he went on to explain.

“The other element — you can drive with a small amount of alcohol in your system, but you can’t drive with any level of THC. There is zero tolerance.”

“There are liability issues for the bar and it’s simply a product that Michigan doesn’t need,” he added.

Jones said that the bill has been assigned to the Senate Regulatory Reform committee and is expected to get a hearing soon.
