K@trom ban delayed

[Mystical]

Jeez, to say Kratom is 100x stronger than heroin is rediculous. It's good to see that the gov sometimes listens to its people. Sometimes....
Regardless of your view on kratom, you can't argue with the fact that it's a natural herb which greatly alleviates wd symptoms for people trying to quit @pi@te use.
I personally enjoy it once in a while, it does give you quite an energy boost and an overall warm feeling. It's effects are definitely not strong enough to even consider it a recreational drug let alone a schedule 1 drug in my opinion.

The fact that it's natural is exactly why they want to schedule it. Heaven forbid people using an herbal remedy when big pharma isn't going to make a cut. Maybe I'm just a tin-foil hat wearing individual, but lets be honest...Do doctors get kick backs for Rxing certain things? Does big pharma care about the 0pi0d crisis? Only thing they care about is making money...Just look at the epipen scandal. I'd go completely all natural if I didn't have to worry about getting a knock on my door, or having to deal with the repercussions of a random UA at work. Heck, I keep on thinking about moving to one of those progressive states out west...

The part that saddens me most is that the people who really need good relief are being scrutinized because of new rules and other junk. Sometimes I feel that the G0V would rather everyone just go out and do H...It's sad...

Sorry for the rant.

Until recently the only other place where Kratom was made illegal was in Thailand where the plant just so happens to originates. Since then it has become public knowledge that the plant was made illegal because the Thailand people where using it to get off the opium that was that the Thai government was the sole proprietor off. (Rumors speculate that much of the opium was provided by England)

Not much has changed since then. Big pharma got word that people were using kratom, an unpatentable naturally growing plant, to get off of their big money making prescription opiates. Oh, and what do you know, the current head of the DEA used to work for one of the big pharma companies, and to make matters worse they tried to push the, so called, "emergency scheduling"(whatever the hell that means) through when congress was on break. You don't have to wear a tin-foil hat to see that a major conspiracy is at play here. And, this is only half the story, it gets much worse and if you google it you'll see tons of corroborating evidence.

Just thought I should chime in because Kratom helped me immensely. I wouldn't be who I am today without it and I really like who I am today.

Yes, it's best to hold off on obtaining any kr@tom for now. The de@, in the end, could still $chedule it level 1 or leave it completely alone. It's anybody's guess. It's good that the FD@ is looking at it's medicinal values. Of course that's what should have been done in the first place as the fd@ is the science based arm of the guberment and the de@ the law enforcement arm.

For me, it's not a must have situation as well.  I'm not going to deal with the consequences of p0ssesion, if it ends up being a $chedule 1. It's not worth it.

Definitely not worth the consequences, especially given the current climate of our G0V.
