Don't expect big shifts until a major state legalizes, but it' worth pointing out that as states legalize, their Congressmen's interests on this issue will change dramatically. I'd compare it to the way once women's suffrage passed in a state, even Congressmen in the state who had previously opposed it had a change of heart because their electorate just doubled and were now half women.
Once New York state and California legalize marijuana, it becomes inevitable that that becomes the position of the Democratic Party.
