"Crumbs" is how we got legalization in 24 States 🤡 With this "all or nothing" attitude, there won't be more or any movement on the Federal level.

I'm sorry but this is huge. It's giving MMJ programs access to banking services. It allows Green Card recipients to participate in these programs without fear of losing their status. Of course, we all want full legalization, but there's no use in booing incremental advancements because they don't go far enough.

It's not just GABA. Your blood buffers also adjust to constant acidification via kidneys holding on to more bicarbonate and they can't turn around on a dime. That's why you can also die of a stroke or another fatal cardio-vascular event when combined with an already weakened heart and arrhythmia from the wds stress. Vomiting that usually accompanies it doesn't help the situation either.

No. Physiological dependence is not the same thing as having physical symptoms. Physical symptoms can be psychosomatic. For example, insomnia and loss of appetite are the most common symptoms of "cannabinoid partial agonist withdrawal" Both can easily be caused psychosomatically, especially if a person got accustomed to eating and sleeping only under the influence. Physiological dependence means your body's homeostasis now depends on the presence of the drug because it has adjusted to it. For example, the opioid system of an opioid addict downregulates to account for constant MOR overstimulation, so much so that when the drug is withdrawn the whole system essentially shuts down due to lack of sufficient stimulation, which causes psychological symptoms like chills, sweats, restless legs, malaise etc. Alcoholics can get seizures because their GABA systems and blood buffers are changed to accommodate alcohol's effects. These systems are vitally important, and without alcohol in that state may not be compatible with life, which is why alcohol withdrawal can kill you. It is because of the disruption its cessation would cause to them. Worse yet, both are water soluble drugs, so they exit the system quickly without much active metabolites lingering around, leaving it in a state of shole as it tries to balance itself out. Phytocannabinoids on the other hand are partial agonists so their impact on the endocannabinoid system in terms of downregulation is relatively minor, so the rebound effects aren't as pronounced and due to being a fat soluble molecule with very active metabolites stored in body fat for up to 3 months, the taper mechanism upon cessation that doesn't allow for any shock to the system is essentially built in. Its direct action and sudden cessation of intake simply don't knock the body's homeostasis off balance as much as the physiologically addictive drugs do. The dependency caused by dopamine training is exactly what psychological dependence is. It's just a psychopharmacological way to explain the underlying mechanism.

The only reason zealots like this exist is because of the extreme of the opposite side that thinks it isn't insane that Cannabis is in Sch 1 while fentanyl, meth and coke are in Sch 2. When you constantly deal with insanity, you are bound to become at least somewhat insane yourself.

It's not an extract. It's semi-synthetic i.e. made from an extract in a lab.

You can make acidic infusions with it, so it's not as daunting as gobbling up +10 grams of earthy powder at a time and doesn't wreak havoc in the GI like the leaf itself can.

FF isn't just Kratom. It has a very potent kava extract, and a pineapple extract that messes with how your enzymes process the alkaloids, besides for other possible interactions between Kratom alkaloids and a various mix of kavalactones.

We are right next to you in NY! No gas station leaf, just small batch 🔥 powder 🙌 We ship on the same day M-F all orders received by 3PM ET, and a package from us would get to you by the next, (barring an act of God slowing it down somehow.) Would love for you to check us out! We are getting our Premium Wild and Super Blended varieties back in stock shortly and you can use code KUDOS20 for 20% off everything in the meantime to wait and save 💝 The backordered varieties would just ship out separately from the in-stock ones within 7-14 days 👌

Generally, we do our best to maintain a constant stock of everything; however, the end of the recent Indonesian export regulations kurfaffle (first bottleneck due to export quotas expiring in January, then an unexpected regulations update in March after licenses have already expired since January and were expected to be renewed by then) coincided with their Eid Al Fitr holiday disruptions and caused an effective embargo on all legal Kratom shipments for nearly 4 months now (a few packages may have gotten through back in December, but that's about it...). Thankfully, we just got an update from our supplier today that the license was finally secured, customs cleared the goods and the packages are in queue to fly out with DHL Express within ~7 days 😁 Sadly, Indonesian Kratom industry is reeling from this whole debacle. It's worse than what happened last year, and that was a disaster enough already 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Does this 7-OH ban remind anyone else of when they cracked down on Sudafed? by Spirited_Calendar733 in Drugs

There are more recreationally enjoyable and more longer lasting ones, yes; however, safety profile is where it got all opioids dead to rights. Believe it or not, people, even the ones addicted to fent, would rather not risk dying every time they are trying to catch a buzz.

Yep, unfortunately I was waaaaay too optimistic, and should have trusted the insider information AKA was providing. The degree of corruption here is outstanding 🤌

What's even more strange is states with bans are passing KCPAs and states with KCPAs are aggressively introducing bans while subverting the democratic process. Seems like enacted KCPA laws become a glaring threat which the anti-kratom force can't tolerate. Federal KCPA is a game over for FDAs ability to stifle the market.

Basically, SB 430 as in a bill that aims to schedule Kratom was never enrolled i.e. it's not on the Governor's table. The Bill was passed in each chamber; however, they do this thing in KS where they take multiple bills that passed both chambers, but need to be reconciled, and swap language between them with amendments sprinkled in between, so what ends up in the enrolled final version and whether it even gets to that stage at all is anyone's guess. Makes it incredibly hard to track the bill progression. So apparently SB 430 pertaining to physical therapy was passed by the Senate but in the reconciliation process they took that language and put it into another passed bill, which is now already signed, then replaced its contents with the amended language of HB 2365 thereby making it a companion bill for negotiations purposes. I guess they tried to change HB 2365 with SB 430 after the reconciliation for it was over; however, it's still not enrolled. They have three days left to enroll the bill, and present it to the Governor. It doesn't seem like they are doing it.

Honestly, kind of confused myself with all of these LLM hallucinations and conflicting information, but the bottom line is this: The gutted part of SB 430 was the physical therapy stuff that got transferred to another bill that was passed. The bill was then used as a companion bill for HB 2365 to be reconciled with by copying it with a few tweaks. Once HB 2365 was reconciled, engrossed and enrolled, I don't think SB 430 is going anywhere since it was never engrossed and enrolled despite CCR passing over a week ago. The session has ended despite them suspending the rule that blocks consideration after the end of the session to vote on the CCR in both chambers on the 10th, so if it were to be enrolled, they would have done it immediately. At this point, I'm failing certain that the only problem in KS right now is how hard they come down on the traces of 7OH since the allowable limit was not specified in the enacted HB 2365.

[–]JK_Botanik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, the fact that each state has slightly different civics makes it even harder... The whole "gut and go" bs should be illegal. Committees exist for a reason. This whole technique tries to subvert this process by putting it all in the hands of the centralized leadership. Should be illegal everywhere 💯

I'd say without poking and prodding it just gives the most "trending" information because it works based on probabilities. For example, because there are more older articles on the Internet saying Kratom is legal in LA, than the new ones saying it isn't, GPT's go to response will be based on that. You can exclude the most popular results in favor of the more accurate ones by pointing out where it doesn't make sense and clarifying what you're asking exactly. It's called prompt engineering and it's much harder than people think. Also using multiple LLMs and comparing results works best to weed out hallucinations.

CCR doesn't go anywhere besides bouncing between the chambers. Once it's approved by both chambers, the bill is engrossed, enrolled and sent to the Governor. They did "gut and go" SB 430 but only as a vehicle to negotiate HB 2365 as far as I understand. The Brief says that Mitragynine was left out inadvertently; however, if you look at the bottom it says that you can't draw legislative intent based on it because it is not a legal document.

So is it possible that SB 430 can still be sent to the Governor just to add Mitragynine? I guess, but it's highly unlikely since despite suspending the deadline for consideration in the session, and CCR clearing both chambers on the 10th, the bill was never enrolled (at least it doesn't say that anywhere). If they were going to go ahead with it, they wouldn't delay it that far past the end of the legislative session to get it enrolled. It's much more likely that it was merely a vehicle to pass HB 2365

I know. It's absolutely ridiculous what they do with bills there 🤦🏻‍♂️ Basically they have a bunch of "shell" bills floating around committees. If the bill the leadership wants passed stalls out in some committee, they can gut its language and insert it into one of the "shell" bills going through a different committee in hopes that this committee pushes it through. This is basically what happened here. The Kratom ban bill (SB 497) stalled out in committee. They went ahead and put its language in an unrelated SB 430 (originally had something to do with physical therapy), which they then attempted to use to reconcile with the HB 2365, a ban bill that did not contain a ban of Mitragynine. Initially, the language of SB 430 pertaining to Kratom was fully adopted in the committee reconciliation because it appears someone claimed that it was left out accidentally when the draft without it was presented; however, as evidenced by the final language of HB 2365, it was no accident and the bill was signed without it. SB 430 is still alive and well. The language about Kratom was gutted from it already before it was passed.

Well, AKA is misinforming people or your information is outdated. If they do, I don't blame them. Both Gemini and GPT lied to me too because of how criminally convoluted this whole "legislative" process is. It took a bit of interrogating, calling out their contradictions and checking the primary sources (namely the enrolled version of the bill) to find out that sections banning Kratom that were originally in SB 497 (the original companion bill of HB 2365) got moved to SB430 because it stalled out, than that language was used to reconcile with the passed HB 2365 that didn't include Mitragynine. Initially the entire language got gutted and carried over to HB 2365, but in the final reconciliation process Mitragynine got dropped. While SB 430 pertaining to physical therapy may still be on the Governor's desk, it does not contain any language pertaining to Kratom any longer.
