I thank the gentleman from Maryland, and I just wonder about the responsibility of this legislation. To have the government promote these items that are on the schedule, things like MDMA, the pure form of Molly and meth, is that what we want? We want the Federal Government telling our families and our children: ``Take this. It is good for you''? Maybe it is, but I sure don't think it is. I certainly don't want my kids taking it, and I certainly don't want the government promoting it. Essentially, my whole life was smoking cessation of tobacco. Now we are finally at a place where we have reduced that dramatically, and now we are going to tell the whole rest of the country, well, let's all start smoking marijuana instead. I don't think this is what the government should be promoting, and I think we should have a lot more research before we tell our kids that this is what they should be doing.
