“This is a new piece of information for me, glow-in- the-dark hemp. I know that they have spliced a gene from a jellyfish into a monkey and it glows also in the dark, so I'm confident that the gentleman's science is accurate. But whether we can keep those who raise recreational marijuana from splicing an identical gene into their's, we've got to deal with the GMO recreational marijuana problem that would be created by this, too. In any case, I oppose the gentleman's amendment and I urge its defeat. I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Polis). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the ayes appeared to have it.”
