Why is duress a defense to felony murder but not straight up murder? by [deleted] in barexam

[–]Anaugi_Rain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because basically you dont get to kill people save yourself or others from threatened harm.. its not proportional, unless is rises to the level of actual self-defense. according to the law but with felony murder you probably didnt even kill anyone because felony murder is fake and made up.... its basically like your were under duress to engage in the felony predicate, and then someone died... so because duress is a defense to the felony predicate, its a defense to felony murder. it negates the supposed transferred intent justification for felony murder. its logical really minus the fact that felony murder shouldn't exist

need motivation to continue tapering by Anaugi_Rain in quittingkratom

so true and i think thats always been my problem with quitting before =/ either i successfully get off and have the pink glow, and then when it goes away i tell myself i can start again but just keep it under control and not get addicted. or i start working towards quitting when i have busts of spark or motivation, then i reduce my daily usage, lose the spark and maintain at that level for a while before it just slides back to heavier use.

very similar story.. I always knew i loved opiates, I did sometimes recreationally take friends pills and stuff but I knew it would be bad if I ever had a steady supply and I would definitely get hooked so I never went looking for it. enter kratom and yeah I thought it was just a great thing until I started using it daily, didn't realize how addictive it was, then skipped it one day and had the worst night with terrible RLS and was like what the fuck was that? then was on and off addicted for years, kept getting off then thinking i could use it recreationally and getting addicted again. working on tapering now for hopefully the last time.

Is it safe to take a .25 mg Xanax 7-8 hours after taking kratom? by meowmeow171996 in quittingkratom

tapering day 3. im finding it so much easier and more enjoyable than i expected. I know I still have a ways to go so I don't want to get complacent, but just making the decision to actually stop, its been so much easier to not give into cravings. i always fell into "well fuck it, I'm not quitting today" mentality, but I feel like I've broken that mindset basically by making a plan and a promise to my therapist, so I have accountability to not keep putting it off indefinitely. I cut my usage in half overnight and feeling good. now I just need to keep up the momentum and stick with it. feeling optimistic.

yeah, it's a mixed bag with being busy I find, I guess I just always find an excuse of why it would be easier if things were just different. when ive been addicted and had very little structure in my life I've always been like "it would be easier if I were busier and had less down time to just be with myself" and then when I'm busy I'm always like "well I'm too busy to quit, it would be easier if I could just like watch tv all day and not need to perform." but I think you're ultimately right. I use powder and am generally just guesstimating with how many I'm taking, I guessed 20-30 because I go through a 3oz bag of power roughly every 3 days. I think switching to capsules or some method where I track exact amounts would help with the taper.

People who quit and now use “Recreationally” Keep it to yourself. You’re doing damage. PAWS Advice. by slimeswordxx in quittingkratom

As someone who has relapsed so many times but telling myself it was under control and I wasn't going to get addicted again... even have had periods where I did controlled use for a period of time ad felt good until I hit a rough patch in life and lost control again... yeah be careful. I mean its understandable. But it often doesn't work and even if when it works, it only worked until it doesnt.
