The DEA can use its emergency powers to temporarily schedule these substances while letting the scientific process play out. Let's put science first and politics second. Let's defeat this bill. If we put science first and politics second, maybe we won't be in single figures in the public's mind as an organization that they support as an institution.

I urge the defeat of this bill.
