SuperPAC Activism?

Why are there so few SuperPACs supporting activist positions on "fringe" issues? That is to say, why havent four or five rich potheads gotten together with a couple mil each to blast the airwaves with "legalize it"? why haven't the Rich-White-Gay elite just dumped millions into gay rights issues? As much as I hate the Citizens United decision (and support Sanders' Saving American Democracy amendment), I think this is a great chance for, well, basically, liberal Hollywood to put their money into issues, not candidates.

Of course, the same argument applies on the other side, but on social issues, the hyper-wealthy tend to be less conservative in general.
