From Daily Kos, Dems intend to get this on as many state ballots as they can for 2016, because it draws out the uninformed non-voter, who will mark the Dem ballot.
They likely aren’t going to have a black candidate in 2016, so this, and ginned-up Hispanic “racial tension”, is how they intend to bring out the stupid to vote.
Kind of like the reverse of the marriage ballots in 2004...
Still, I think that atleast in purple states where it makes a difference, only a narrow majority of pot smokers are liberals. I know atleast two people who smoke weed and fly confederate flags, I doubt this strategy will win them any states. That said, whoever is the GOP nominee should not center his campaign on this one issue, as it is about the only thing we lost last night.

Interesting strategy by which to attract the same type of "novelty" voter that opted for Barack Hussein Obama in 2008.
Market to a bunch of kids just out of high school with very little else going on in their lives.
Or even more insidious, seeking to keep a large segment of society in a state of unmotivated dependence...and beholden to government.
It's time to start a draft Sheila Jackson Lee movement. She can match Hillary on the chromosomal test and trump her on race, and she's younger and more attractive. Plus she's angrier. She hits all the top democrat hot buttons. How can she miss?
I know a couple of guys that smoke but have never registered to vote. Oregon's ballot initiative didn't change that.
