Introduces H.R. 7019 "Protecting Lands Against Narcotics Trafficking" (PLANT) Act to help law enforcement crack down on illegal marijuana grows on public lands.

H.R.2331 - No Welfare for Weed Act of 2015 (2015-2016)

Help Ensure Lives are Protected Act (2016) - bill to allow death penalty for drug dealers linked to overdose deaths due to fentanyl.

“Small businesses are closing every day. Americans are facing lockdowns and loss of jobs, yet Speaker Pelosi has refused to pass legislation to help them. Instead, she forced a vote on this bill that legalizes and props up the marijuana industry and gives tax dollars to convicted drug dealers. This is not only bad policy, it’s a slap in the face to struggling families across the country. Promoting more ways to get high and increase danger in the workplace is not the remedy for what our country faces in 2020 and forward. Democrats even defeated an amendment to the bill to shield employers' ability to maintain a sober, drug-free workplace. Americans deserve better than a Speaker whose priorities are to bail out felons while ignoring struggling small businesses and families.” 12/4/20

"You're going to have a bunch more people running around like zombies, not paying attention and not able to hold a job," said Congressman Doug Lamalfa. "This isn't about medicine anymore. This is about recreation."
"To me, it needs to get back to a real prescription of a real drug, in pill form, done by a real doctor," said Lamalfa. "Anything beyond that is game playing."

"I think the further legalization of marijuana will be something that comes back to bite us in future years, and so any measure that would continue to keep it as a controlled substance I would support."
