Weed track makes me think young people in service industry jobs who are much more socially/politically progressive compared to their economic peers. Like the staff at a Lush or a grocery co-op.
Put a high premium on relatability in their candidates and some are a little bitter at having to accept a worse standard of living then their parents.
Can't speak about "weed-track voters" per se, but in Oregon as one of the earlier states to legalize not only medicinal herb, but also recreational MJ, there has been a huge explosion growth in legal Marijuana related employment.
Obviously the "Budtenders" are at the front end of all of our weed stores, but likely many of them make more off of tips than many Bartenders, in a state where both are paid at minimum OR State / Regional Min wage.
Many of the storefront dispensary jobs are heavily located in Tourism / Coastal regions of the State, where they are likely making significantly more $$$ / Hr than working in a Gas Station, Hotel, Restaurant, Grocery store etc in a part of the state where there has long been significant underemployment among younger workers, where fishing (much more lucrative) is a much more tight-knit community, and there aren't that many plywood and paper mills remaining from Astoria down to Brookings area (which tend to pay very well and are frequently Union jobs where you trade off the shift-structure, shift hours / day negotiations with the bosses against what is effectively guaranteed stability in exchange for Union Protection, Pensions, Health Care, when there aren't that many entry level openings these days for jobs such as pulling Green-Chain, sweeping up the sawdust on the Mill Floor, and even non 24 Hr Ops even have most of their Security outsourced these days vs in-house Union jobs.
Damn when I was unemployed and effectively homeless about (5) Years ago shortly after moving back to Oregon, I almost applied for a Union Job in a Seafood Processing MFG facility on the Central OR Coast, as well as another job in a Pulp Mill in the same region, but ended up getting a few bites before I had to make that decision.
Hell... much better gig for younger Blue Collar workers on the Oregon Coast than many of the other job opportunities out there (Plus tourists tend to tip much more than locals
)
Reminds me a bit of that old classic song from the mid-late '70s from the Punk Rock band The Clash:
(I think this particular individual chose to mix the song with some classic Charlie Chaplin silent clips).
