The Supreme Judicial Court ruled Wednesday the question to legalize marijuana in Massachusetts could appear on the November ballot, but ordered state officials to change the wording that explains the measure to voters. The justices say the current title and statement are "clearly misleading," in part because they do not specify that the proposed law could allow for the sale of marijuana-infused food products.

Jim Borghesani of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol says the amendment to the language is fair. "We're fine with that. Edibles are a possibility under our initiative," says Borghesani. "The language, we think, is actually more representative than the prior language. So we're very happy with everything the SJC did yesterday."

The ruling was issued just hours before supporters of legalized pot turned in more than 25,000 additional certified signatures to the Secretary of State, well above the 10,792 signatures needed to assure a spot on the ballot.
