That's absolutely false. He's veto happy because raising taxes during a recession is the dumbest possible thing a government attemping to restart the economy could do. The government has to cut spending along with the rest of us.
In response to your issue, I see no reason why he would be opposed to legalizing weed, especially when it provides extra tax money which could be used to close the budget deficit. He's a lame duck - it's not like he's afraid of getting flak from righteous social conservatives who are opposed at this point in time.
He even says here that a debate is needed: http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2009/05/06/Schwarzenegger-Marijuana-debate-is-needed/UPI-82621241635254/ http://www.upi.com/Top_News/2009/05/06/Schwarzenegger-Mariju...
