Support for marijuana reform temporarily declined after Reagan and others (mostly Republicans) escalated the propaganda war on cannabis in the late 1970s. It escalated dramatically during Reagan's 1980 election campaign, with cooperation from many other fanatic anti-cannabis Republicans throughout the 1980s. See: Reagan's war on cannabis.
