The second time was the charm for former Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson to get preliminary approval for a Michigan medical marijuana license for a dispensary.

Johnson, along with his wife Brittney, were approved for prequalification status on a 4-0 vote Thursday.

Johnson and business partner, Robert Sims, were denied licenses in December for a medical marijuana dispensary, grow operation and processing facility in Webberville.
