On the recordJune 2, 2015
I would strongly urge my colleagues to talk to treatment professionals in their communities. My concern is that we don't have as much vigorous oversight for things that are much more highly addictive--we see them more abused--and that this extra overlay for something that is less dangerous and can in fact be useful for treatment, I think, is an area that deserves oversight. I respect my friends in terms of their opinions, but I would urge them to have the conversations I have had with the people who are getting wrapped around the axle with the DEA. I yield back the balance of my time.
