I think the issue is that while 74% favor legalization, I don't believe that means 74% find the status quo onerous. Most people don't have any burning desire for legal weed, so allowing government to work slowly is fine for them.

In general, government being slow or incapable of action is better than the alternative. That's on display here. We're seeing Justice Brandeis' little laboratories of democracy in action.
