“I deeply appreciate the leadership of my friend from Florida, and his personal experience adds particular impact to his leadership on this. Another tireless champion for rational cannabis reform is Congresswoman Barbara Lee, with whom I have been pleased to partner for years now with the Congressional Cannabis Caucus in moving on a series of reform proposals. She is a tireless champion. She will be missed in Congress in the future, but luckily, we have her here now.
