         Marijuana Legalization in Colorado and Washington

1. Cite examples of "Supreme Law of the Land"
2. Cite examples of "federal vs. state authority"
3. What was the "compromise" that helped to pass the referendum in Washington? How do you think this compromise would affect demand for the product?
4. Why was Oregon's referendum not passed?

    1: "Marijuana is still illegal in the eyes of the federal government, which overrules states' rights "

    2: "The Drug Enforcement Administration's enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act remains unchanged."

   3: The compromise was that they were going to triple tax it. I think people are going to eventually stop buying it and get it illegally somehow.

  4: "Analysts had projected that it wouldn't go through and criticized various aspects of the initiative,    especially  the fact that it would have handed most of the regulating power in the marijuana industry to the growers rather than independent overseers."


             
                     Social Media and the presidential election
      

       5. What audience do you think social media was targeted to? Explain.

       6. Which candidate was most effective  using social media? Explain.

       7. According to Jeffrey Hermes, taking a picture of your marked ballot can be used to   pressure people standing in line to vote. Do you agree or disagree, and why?  

   5: The social media targeted the young people to learn, because they are going to eventually vote when they get old enough.
  
   6: "One of the stand-out moments from Mr Obama's campaign was The president spent around 30  minutes answering questions from the site's millions of users. Mr Obama's credibility was enhanced when he told users the Q&A sessions were "Not bad!"

  7: I agree because people while standing in line are still having a hard time deciding for who to vote for and they second guess themselves when they see other peoples votes. They are going to want to vote for the candidate the other person chose. That's a kind of pressure that will make people have doubts.
