These are the types of states' rights I can get behind!
Not so much the segregation laws of yore. I don't live in Washington, but it would be the first time (beyond gay marriage in my former home of DC) I can think of citizens looking to the state to protect their rights over federal interests. Most of history it seems is the reverse - looking to the constitution and the supremacy clasue to protect us from piss-poor unjust majority votes so oftne found in states.
"That's 48 percent yes, 41 percent no, and 11 percent undecided—which is pretty good."
Unfortunatly, 'pretty good' doesn't win elections. 51% wins elections. You basically need the undecideds to minimally go 20% yes here for this to win safely: I hope you're not betting money on that.

A watched pot never gets legalized.
