SPRINGFIELD (WREX) - Medical marijuana is up for debate in Springfield.
Wednesday a House committee voted 4 to 3 to make it legal. Now it's up to the full House.
There's a lot of tension on both sides. Some say it's too easy for the drug to fall into the wrong hands for recreational purposes. But others argue marijuana is a huge benefit for people with conditions like AIDS and multiple sclerosis.
