"A global fight looms over Kratom"

When I had to lay down oxycodone after two years of being prescribed fairly large amounts of it, this stuff was a godsend. Kept my withdrawal to no more inconvenience than mild hay fever.

Luckily Ive never had to use kratom because I’ve never had any opioid addictions, but I know a lot of people who say they owe their sobriety to it. What reason do they even have to ban kratom? I dont know, but I submitted in my letter on why it shouldn’t be banned. There was a website where you could send in letters to comment about the ban that would apparently reach the people leading or participating the meeting(s) about it.

Keep fighting, we will get there. Freedom is inevitable.

because opiates make money.

When things are bad, they become fucking awful.

Practically free money, for both big pharma and the criminal organizations,  Where I live we have the "Baptist and Bootlegger Alliance". whose intention is to maintain dry counties, Strange bedfellows with a common goal. keeping the sale of even beer illegal. A bootlegger gets $2 for a 12 oz can of beer, and the Baptists don't have to be offended by the horror of open alcohol sales.

The sackler family disliked that post :D

Its good to see things moving.
I would suggest that you guys share information like it was the last day on Earth.  This information slowdown is all because of all that dumb unwillingness to share.  That is where the DEA is winning.  There goal is you not talking to each other.  Let the information flow.  I  promise we will always be 2 steps ahead of DEA chemists if we just keep sharing information

Actually Kratom was made illegal long ago in Thailand for the reason it lowered the opium profits by helping people to kick their opium habit.
It was not made illegal for being a drug itself.
If you search you can read all about it.
How sick is that.
There are suggestions to make it legal again in Thailand but i think its still banned.
