“I will conclude with this. I wasn't always a believer in medical cannabis, but I met a girl in my district who was being told by her doctor that she was going to have to saw her brain in half to stop the seizures from firing across. Today, that little girl is a medical cannabis patient. She has traded surgeries for softball games; she has traded doctors for dancing lessons; and she brings hugs, hope, and joy to our entire community. It is for her--it is for the millions of Americans benefiting from medical cannabis--that I call upon this administration to stop the Attorney General from harming Americans through his repeal of the Cole memo. Mr. Speaker, I thank my bipartisan group of colleagues who joined with me this evening. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
