What it showed was the power of direct democracy. US politicians are smart enough to never let us do that on an issue that's had actual coverage. Sure local ballot inititives are a thing but they no before they even make it a ballot item which way it will go and there is never a communal discussion.

Imagine if they gave us direct democracy vote on immigration.

I thought states making marijuana legal did so with a majority vote of citizens. And that seems like direct democracy to me.
