K@trom ban delayed

[Sal Paradise]

I have tried said herbal medicine many times (legally) and it didn't seem to have any effect on me whatsoever. 

I can't understand why this is currently banned.

It's not banned yet. But the alkaloid content of the leaf, like any other pant, depends a lot on genetics, growing conditions, drying/storing, etc. Maybe you got weak batches? Or had high expectations? It isn't nearly as strong as vics or percs, so if you are expecting any euphoriic effects you'll probably be disappointed. It is an effective pain med for a lot of people though.
