On the recordMay 28, 2014
Madam Chair, I have no objection to the amendment. I think it is a very good amendment, and I share the gentleman's concern. Out in the western part of my district, in the Shenandoah Valley, I think they had one heroin death in 2011 or in 2012. In 2013 and this year, they are surpassing that, and it is only May. This is going to be an epidemic. It is hitting the country. They are actually finding that growers of marijuana in Mexico are getting out of that business and are growing poppies. So I think it is a very good amendment, and I urge the support of it. I yield back the balance of my time.
