•Obesity in Children
•Medicinal Marijuana

The paper should be in the range of 8 pages (not including cover page or reference page) and written in APA format. Please start each section of your paper by stating the question you are addressing. All sources used in your research must be included in a bibliography at the end of the paper, and all citations should be appropriately noted. The analyses should include all of the following sections: •The history of the policy (why the problem was identified as worthy of a policy solution and how the policy was formulated).
•Were there other alternatives?
•Was there a trade-off between science and politics?
•Assess the impact or success of the policy.
