-Audience member asked (2018) "about the status of action to legalize marijuana. Cicilline said a relevant bill introduced last year isn't necessarily time-sensitive but he hopes it will be brought to the floor soon." (2018)
"Easy access to dangerous synthetic drugs poses an immediate threat to the health and well-being of men, women, and children across our country," said Rep. Cicilline.
