"It's been obvious for years that at some point marijuana was going to be formally legalized," Bentz said on the floor. "Before I came to Congress, I was a federal prosecutor in my hometown of Pittsburgh. And the biggest law enforcement challenges that we had then and really still have today are opioids and gun violence," said Lamb.
