The Florida Supreme Court heard arguments Wednesday about whether a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow adults to use recreational marijuana should go before voters in 2024.
Justices appeared skeptical of arguments urging the court to reject the amendment that would authorize the use of recreational marijuana for people over age 21.
Lawyers for Attorney General Ashley Moody’s office and the Florida Chamber of Commerce argue that the amendment is misleading to voters and fails to address a single subject as required under state law.
But the attorney representing the group backing the proposal says it is easy to understand.
