As the population "ages out" (older people with different societal mores die out, are replaced with younger folks), these changes occur. If you check out the exit polls for Florida for their recent medicinal marijuana ballot initiative, the 65+ age cohort was 62% against/38% for it. Compare that to the 18-29 age cohort (79% for/21% against).

I leave it to the reader to calculate the "run rate" at which time ballot measures such as these pass based on actuarial data in various states.
