“If every voting member could see what I see, the end point of legislation, you would not be able to vote to pass any cannabis laws. I promise that your state does not have enough addiction treatment facilities or adolescent psychiatric inpatient facilities (the number one adolescent diagnosis in treatment facilities is cannabis addiction).”
