Notes: Calvin Johnson one step closer to opening medical marijuana dispensary

Looks like Megatron got a new adventure planned for retirement.

Detroit Lions legend Calvin Johnson Jr.’s medical marijuana application for a license passed the preliminary round of approval Thursday, just in time for 4/20/19.

Johnson and his wife are looking to open up shop in Bloomfield Hills, calling it Michigan Community Collective.

This isn’t the first time he’s applied. He and fellow former Lion Rob Sims actually got denied in December for medical marijuana growing, processing and provisioning facilities. The reason? Johnson’s minor traffic tickets and issues with homes Sims owns in Dearborn.
