I worry, Madam Chairman, that too little is known about when and how marijuana can be harmful, particularly after frequent and long-term use.

The Public Record
Bobby Rush is a former U.S. Representative from Illinois, serving from January 5, 1993, to January 3, 2021. A member of the Democratic Party, Rush was known for his advocacy on issues related to children's safety and consumer protection. He worked closely with colleagues to strengthen agencies responsible for safeguarding children and emphasized the need for legislative changes to ensure the safety of products available to families. Rush's tenure in Congress was marked by his commitment to social justice and community empowerment, reflecting his deep roots in the civil rights movement.
The situation is even more desperate than it was and different than it was in 1995, when the Tax Certificate Program ended.
It seems to me that many States, including mine, are stampeding to legalize both medicinal and recreational use of cannabis.
I am also disappointed that we are having these kinds of hearings that we have had many, many, many times before.
I think promoting this would be important but, right now, this is something that the FCC hasn't been charged with.
If Florida expanded Medicaid, we would draw down almost $14 billion for our state over the next five years alone.
As Chairman Rush said the other day, climate change represents only a tremendous threat to our future, but also a tremendous opportunity.
So I really can't stress enough the importance of having participated in Medicaid expansion and certainly, hope that it continues for years to come.
