Because the gentleman raised the issue of these synthetics on other--we have talked a lot about fentanyl being cut into heroin over the course of this debate over 2 weeks. We haven't talked as much about these synthetics being sprayed on marijuana or other things that you go: Oh, that is natural, mom. I can smoke that. And what these evil people are doing is taking these deadly synthetics and literally creating a liquid or a spray and then spraying it. And I talked to a father the other day whose daughter died of a heroin overdose, but when they did the autopsy, they discovered it was 100 percent fentanyl. So I thank the gentleman for his good work on this amendment.
