JACKSON • Medical marijuana was hardly mentioned Wednesday as attorneys argued over whether Initiative 65, the voter-approved pot legalization program, should be overturned by the Mississippi Supreme Court. Instead the debate focused on congressional districts — and a seemingly innocuous section of the Mississippi Constitution that suggests there are five districts when the state now has just four. This is not about the wisdom of legalizing medical marijuana, it is about the plain language of (the constitution), said attorney Kaytie Pickett, representing Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler, who filed the lawsuit challenging the initiative. Still, the outcome of the case will decide whether Mississippians have access to legal pot anytime soon. And it might cast legal doubt on past ballot initiatives approved by Mississippi voters, while disrupting initiative signature-gathering drives just getting started.
