Here's Where 6 of the GOP's Likely 2016 Candidates Stand on Marijuana

[Chef Ramsay]

Hudak said Republicans, who have mostly scaled back their opposition to legalization in the states, "are doing something they are usually terrible at — looking down the road at the demographic landscape and adjusting their policies accordingly."

"They're not doing it on same-sex marriage effectively, they're not doing it on health care effectively, they're not doing it on a lot of social issues effectively," he said, "but it looks like they're starting to see the light on legalization."

Better late than never. In 2016, young voters who overwhelming support marijuana legalization are expected to return to the polls after their traditional midterm no-show in 2014.

"They're sort of self-reinforcing forces in the electorate that create a really positive recipe to assist legalization advocates," Hudak said. "It's a hot issue. For a candidate, you talk about it and it makes waves."

Better late than never. In 2016, young voters who overwhelming support marijuana legalization are expected to return to the polls after their traditional midterm no-show in 2014.

Young voters may support marijuana legalization but old voters don't. And young voters will eventually turn into old voters. The people who currently make the important decisions mostly grew up in the 1940's and 1950's and came of age in the 1960's and 1970's when revolution was in the air. They smoked pot, they resisted the draft, they organized street marches, and then... they settled down and morphed into the yuppies of the 1980's. I predict that the topic of marijuana legalization is something that will be debated for a very long time. The generational divide has always existed and will always continue to exist as long as the fiery torch of adolescence continues to be passed from one generation to the next.
