“Mr. Speaker, drug use by teenagers has exploded in this country, yet the President only seems to want to ignore it. Now we have found out that the FDA is trying to prevent parents from purchasing a home drug testing kit. Why? Because families won't be able to address the issue correctly, and it will cause family discord. Can they be serious? A recent poll showed that 96 percent of parents felt they should have the right to direct and control the upbringing and discipline of their children. The President wants to let the FDA eliminate smoking and cigarettes, but he won't even give parents a chance to handle their own teenager's drug use. This is the last straw. The President and the FDA have lost it. Maybe they did inhale. I yield back the balance, urging the FDA to just don't do it.”
