This is what I primarily use it for. I've never really cared all that much for marijuana personally, but I've always felt that it should be legal.
It's generally an issue I look up for all politicians and use it as a litmus test to determine if the Republican Party is evolving or remaining in the past.

If you honestly believe that weed poses a threat to the american people and can actually kill a human being, well that's an automatic disqualifier for public office as its one of the most retarded things you can ever believe and state as fact.
Once you state that opinion, you're done and that's the end of discussion. If you state the reverse opinion of that, well then, the job interview gets to carry on and you can do some more work to earn my vote.

to have marijuana legalization be the number one issue to determine your political leanings?
I don't smoke pot because my work might fire me "without cause." HOWEVER, it's pretty myopic to think that even if this issue was important to someone, that they were a childish pothead. There's a greater ideology at play with this and if you really wanted to be a Republican, you'd really want the government out of your life so the chips could fall where they may. Prohibition begets crime and it's more than likely we spend more money fighting it and jailing people than we do fricking food stamps but you wouldn't call someone a child if food stamp reform was really important to them.

Sessions told Lynch it's a core issue for the nation's top prosecutor to challenge states legalizing weed. The pot head Trumpkins in their haze voted for obsession. Classic.

Has nothing to do with the topic.

Marijuana simply isn't as important as fringe members of society want to pretend it is. There's a reason it was not discussed more on the campaign trail - because it's not a major concern of the electorate.
A politician, or prospective politician, taking a position on the legalization of marijuana based on ignorance is not an indictment of said politician's qualifications. It's simply an indication of ignorance, indifference or pandering. Because truth be told, in roughly 45 states, it isn't going to make or break the outcome of his being elected to a particular office. The vast majority of Americans are indifferent.

Yea weed is clearly unimportant. It's on the ballot in multiple states damn near everytime there is an election, the new AG called the Feds challenging states that legalize it a core issue for the top prosecutor, and the dope head Trumpkins are trying desperately to leap off a runaway train.

As do I. Please point to a specific instance where I have said otherwise.

The Pew Research Center disagrees with you:
The vast majority of Americans are concerned with more pressing issues. Which is what I've been saying this entire thread. To place undue importance on the legal status of marijuana is myopic, which is what the "freedom fighters" in this thread have been accusing me of being.

If in the fight for liberties, marijuana legislation is at the top of your list, you're more than likely grossly uninformed or out of touch.

I smoked pot for 20+ years, but quit a little over a year ago.
Anyway I always wanted pols that were pro legalization but outside fringe ones, there were none.
I think it's a good litmus test but will and have voted for pols that were against legalization

They say it has no medical value. It's a schedule 1, treated as it harms a person more than cocaine and Crystal meth. Do you believe that?

I don't even smoke pot but I think people should be allowed to put something as harmless as pot into their bodies as long as they don't hurt others in doing so.
Seriously, if women can kill babies by having abortions under the right to privacy then how the frick can the Government say someone cant do drugs if they wish

End of the day it must really blow your mind all these losers are actually winning vs the billions upon billions in drug war funds all these sober people are wasting. Losing to losers, fricking classic

Let's properly understand how Pew conducted the survey you cited. Each responder was asked whether each of the listed topics was "very important" to them. There is absolutely no indicatio, based on the picture you linked, that the respondents were even given a chance to express their views on marijuana.
