On the recordJune 2, 2015
I appreciate the time, and I appreciate all of the work that Mr. Rohrabacher and Mr. Farr have done, and I am happy to join with them. Mr. Chairman, Justice Brandeis said the States are the laboratories of democracy. That is what they are doing here. Some of the arguments we have heard are ``Reefer Madness'' 2015. It is over. One of the gentlemen said children are doing marijuana at age 12. That will show you how good the laws are doing right now. If we had more money going into heroin and not marijuana, we could stop people from dying, and that is what we should be doing. Tell Montel Williams, who has MS, that marijuana doesn't work. Tell cancer patients that it doesn't help them with nausea. Tell people that it doesn't work. It works. It helps. It is the States.
