Republicans in the state Senate are trying to figure out a way to take up the marijuana legalization, in part, to keep it off the November ballot because it’s expected to drive more voters to the polls. Higher turnout traditionally has helped Democrats, which could fuel a blue wave that could jeopardize the GOP’s majority in the state House, Senate, governor’s office and in Congress.

1. When calling for Obama in 2008

I was amazed how many people in Michigan wanted to talk about MJ. The people passed medical MJ vote. The pols did everything to keep the law from actually being enacted. Only recently have people been able to take advantage of what voters passed 10 years ago. I believe all over the country it is a winning issue. Ratpublicans should be scared.

2. Yep, when weed's on the ballot

turnout is high, no pun intended, and usually goes Democratic.

4. Yeah I think that's why Republicans in

Maryland didn’t want a “voter referendum” on the November ballot. Prohibitionist drug warriors, regardless of party, need to be ousted at both state & federal levels. I see a lot of turnover, hopefully, in November.
