Why use it to raise taxes? Besides, people are not looking to having increased income taxes.

It's not an income tax, it's a tax on dope smokers.

An initiative to legalize marijuana and allow it to be sold and taxed will appear on the November ballot

Whether or not one thinks it's a good idea, it certainly is a states' rights issue. There is no provision in the US Constitution for the Federal Gov't to regulate drugs, medicines, vitamin supplements or much of anything that doesn't cross state or federal borders.
Will it pass? Probably, imo. We will see the results.
