Today I have introduced legislation to address the threat of synthetic drugs by simply closing that loophole. simply saying that with regard to packages coming from overseas. the Postal Service should require advanced electronic data so we know what is in these packages. This would include information such as who and where it is coming from. where it is going. and what is in it. As Customs and Border Patrolthe border protection peoplehas told us. this information will provide a much better tool to law enforcement to help them ensure that these dangerous drugs wont end up in the hands of drug traffickers who then sell these dangerous drugs in our communities. It will make our streets safer and save lives by helping to prevent overdoses. I think it is a commonsense idea that builds on CARA. the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act. because while CARA addresses the demand for drugs through prevention. education. treatment. and recovery. this legislation will help to cut the supply of drugs. help to cut off the flow of this poison into our communities.
