This is all based on assumptions about the people who would in general vote certain ways, but:
The people who tend to be against taxes in all shapes and forms I would think tend to be those who are against pot legalization as well (ie mostly conservative people). They are usually more wealthy people that don't want the potheads/entitleds/commie pinkos of the world getting a piece of their pie. This is kind of the one tax with a burden that would fall mostly on the liberal base, not the conservative base, so you think they would actually be for it if they were actually concerned with the economics and not the "OMG my kids!!" side of things.
