I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the arguments that come forward from the Members here. They do come from States that have voted and expressed their support for, let's say, for the husbandry of hemp. It has a long history and it has been a useful product, but we have outlawed it for clear reasons; and that is, as I said, you can plant it alongside the recreational use marijuana and you can't tell the difference. If we are going to legalize the farming and the experimental agriculture with industrial hemp on our college campuses, that really wouldn't be the first place I would choose.
