口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/group/topic/697130/The day after the election, the Justice Department said it was reviewing the ballot initiatives but did not comment on how it would respond. But the statement did say the enforcement of federal drug laws remains unchanged.
Experts say enforcing the federal laws could be politically awkward for the Obama administration. More Colorado citizens voted for the initiative than for the president. And national polls show the majority of Americans support legalizing marijuana.
Again Jasmine Tyler: "Polling numbers are as high as they have ever been. And they have risen steadily over the last ten years. And when you think about the polling numbers for medical marijuana and marijuana tax in regulating, you can't avoid them anymore."
Former drug control officials have commented that the victory will be short-lived. They predict the Obama administration will either stop the initiatives up front or challenge the laws in court.投票后次日，司法部称他们正在审查投票，但是并没有说将会作何反应。但他们的声明称联邦药物法律的实施并没有改变。
专家们说，对于奥巴马政府来说，实施联邦药物法规在政治上是尴尬的。更多的科罗拉多居民投票支持大麻合法化，这比投票支持奥巴马总统的人还要多。另外全国民调显示，大多数的美国人支持大麻合法化。
Jasmine Tyler说：“支持者的投票数量与之前相比一样多，而且过去10年这个数字保持稳定增长。当你考虑到这些支持药物大麻的投票数量以及曾经为了控制大麻而进行的税收金额，你就应该明白我们再也不能禁止大麻合法化了。”
前禁毒官员们评论说，大麻合法化的胜利是暂时的。他们预计奥巴马政府要么预先制止这项新法规，要么通过法院要求禁止大麻合法化。
