On the recordMay 20, 1998
I think if it goes from $2 to $4.50 in California, with the number of people addicted and the fact that most are low income, that it creates a black market. One of the concerns I have is that it becomes a real pawn for organized criminal elements that also brings on other serious repercussions. But I don't want the Senator from Utah, or anybody else, to mistake me. I want to see us have a bill. I want to see us have a bill that is going to be able to do the job, rather than have adverse, unintended consequences.
