I think legalization of weed will pass. There's a decent amount of Republicans who support it. And, the Democrats have the option of eliminating the filibuster, so I think republicans are going to want to pick their battles on filibustering, and I don't think that's a fight they should get into.

The allocation of the Senate grossly favors the Republicans, and until/unless the Democrats start picking up rural whites the Senate will remain in or near Republican hands for the foreseeable future. Ditching the filibuster probably wouldn't bother McConnell all that much, to be honest.
