Marijuana Law Reform
Ramsay Knox and Anne Marie Herring
We plan on doing an informational site on marijuana and the laws associated with it. Our index page will have 4 links: a marijuana laws page, history of usage page, health and statistics page, and an interviews page.
On the index page, four images will serve as links for the different pages of the site. Beneath the images will be a twitter widget that will show tweets regarding marijuana laws along with some information on our site.
The laws page will provide the different marijuana laws for different areas of the country as well as recent changes in laws. We will try to incorporate charts in some way.
The history of usage page will go over the history of marijuana on a global scale and increase in laws over the years.
The health and statistics page will have facts about marijuana’s effect on the human body as well as statistics regarding its usage.
The interview page will have text and video of interviews with people associated with the marijuana laws in some way. (police, offenders, etc.)

This sounds like a really interesting idea. Just make sure you discuss the fact that you will be taking a more local view of the topic instead of tackling it on a national scale and title it appropriately. Some local vs. national stats might be a good idea, and making interactive maps in Flash would be useful. You can use buttons to make each county rollovers and provide information that way. Do you actually know people willing to be taped to discuss personal stories? Sounds like it would be hard to get actual offenders.
