Nice job overall. Your paper is well organized and structured, and there are very few grammar / spelling issues. Your intro and persuasive voice is strong, too. I also appreciate the work you put in with your graphs in the appendix, as well as referencing them throughout the paper.

This year, we expect those demand levels to decrease slightly, due to the exchange rates in the other regions and more competitive pricing from our
The third scenario, the “Chief of Police of the city where these people live, who has urged the City Council to enact new local zoning and other regulation that will make it virtually impossible for medical marijuana dispensaries to operate in the city uses the retributive justice cause the Chief of Police is trying to keep it where that when people have done wrong that he or she will suffer the consequences” (Ashford University online school website, 2013).
