conservative approach to this and you combine the united states and the british and what they burned in washington, d.cs going to be less than 10% of the city. i don't think you can say that burning less than 10% of the city somehow represents the burning of washington. if you want to be even more conservative and say that maybe there were 450 buildings there by 1814, maybe 500 buildings in 1814, if you want to lower the number of buildings that the americans burnt, you're going to come out with a much smaller percentage. you're talking more about a total of between 4 to maybe 5% of all of the buildings in the city that were burned. and if you notice, many of the speakers yesterday and today, most of them tried to be very careful when they talked about this issue. and many of them said things like the british occupation of washington or they would say the british burning of public buildings in washington to try to stay away from what i essentially call a myth. i'm going to pass over this very quickly. the red circles are british, blue circles, american. none of these are contemporary and you can imagin

there was a big victory in washington, d.c., which sort of makes sense. it's a more liberal urban jurisdiction. it's a shift in the electorate over the last decade or so with a big shift in favor of marijuana legalization especially among younger voters. i think the trend is continuing we're likely it see ballot measures in 2016 in larger states including california. it's setting up a shut out with the federal government. even though marijuana is legal in the state it's prohibited by federal law. you have the uneasy tension between the two levels of government that will have to be resolved. >> we look at it from a money making prospect how seriously do you think the federal government will take it as it starts to use the test case states as labs? >> yeah, i think the tax revenue is a little more attractive to state governments and the federal government states needing to balance their budgets every year have been hungry for tax sources that are not income tax, sales tax, things people find very unpopular. in colorado it's falling short of the revenue proj
