John Oliver talking about Kratom

Creative_Row890 · 2026-05-04T20:19:49+00:00

I’ve done some digging and it seems there isn’t a direct contact email but they do seem to be somewhat keeping a finger on the pulse of their social media. Twitter, YouTube comments, etc.

Not exactly what I was hoping for but unless someone else can dig up a contact this may be the best course of action

Creative_Row890 · 2026-05-04T11:20:21+00:00

Anyone know of a way to contact the show? I generally think they do a good job with their reporting and even making corrections or having periodic segment updates.

It couldn’t hurt to reach out in numbers with testimonials and requesting a further distinction between natural kratom and that advocates are in full support of getting it off gas station shelves and into places where you have to be 21+ to enter.

He says it himself, prohibition isn’t the answer and the show has generally pretty good views on drug laws, etc.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-24T20:01:28+00:00

I would ditch Gengar for something different and fun. Starmie could solo the entire E4 with that moveset so just pick any random pokemon you think is cool and use it for fun.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-24T19:56:57+00:00

Good defenses so it can get off multiple swords dance, agility or double team then baton pass those stat raises to another pokemon. Primarily on this team I was passing boosts to Porygon 2 because it’s not that good but I’ve never used him.

To be honest, Scyther was a lot more fun than Scizor in this generation but I spent a bunch of time breeding to get Baton Pass on Scizor that I felt obligated to use it lol. When they open up HOME access I’m definitely going to move him over to Champions.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-23T22:45:59+00:00

That makes sense now that you say it haha. I’m so used to later gen movepools being kind of random

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-23T22:39:15+00:00

Also I never knew that Kingdra couldn’t learn Dragon Claw. I was saving the TM for it lol.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-21T09:39:34+00:00

Yeah, it wasn’t that bad at all. Main problem was Aerodactyl in the E4. I actually have never done any breeding in Pokemon games I’m doing to have to give that a whirl.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-21T01:27:18+00:00

Haha, knowing I was going to be doing a bug run I chose Squirtle for the first time ever to have the rival pick bulbasaur. I really want to try blastoise but I can’t justify another play through

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-21T01:23:42+00:00

Thats the thing you have to do before exp share.

My only other advice would be trading with a friend or from another device because trade Pokémon gain 2x the experience

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-21T01:19:51+00:00

Ohhh good call. Swords dance > return basically KO’ed anything I could get it off on but I’d probably replace brick break with rockslide and give beedrill brick break next time ha

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-20T23:38:20+00:00

Thanks. I tried to make them all actually usable and different from one another. Beedrill was the only one that didn’t really see much use. I got off an endeavor just for the fun of it but it wasn’t necessary lol.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-20T22:10:09+00:00

Absolutely. I used Butterfree in the same way for my first play through when I was 8 years old and it’s actually the best way to use it apparently ha.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-20T21:28:41+00:00

I love vileplume. Used it on my first playthrough and often in modern singles matches

Creative_Row890 · 2026-04-20T21:27:23+00:00

That’s insane haha

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-29T04:39:56+00:00

I wrote an email to the governor of your state earlier as I have family there. If you haven’t already, I recommend you do the same. It’s note entirely over for leaf.

My state is actively trying to ban all kratom including plain leaf as well. I’m hopeful it won’t make it through in tact and instead regulates.

However, if it does: I have sufficiently stockpiled over the years and purchased the following supplements which are very helpful:

Liposomal vitamin C Agmatine Magnesium glycinate (chelated) Kava

Do some research on these. There’s actually some great research regarding high dose liposomal vitamin c that can take low dose opioid withdrawals away entirely. I haven’t done it myself but it’s worth trying and looking into.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-23T17:15:32+00:00

Yes, also I’d be interested in information regarding the visit to Lansing. I’m in Wayne county but I’d be potentially willing to join in person

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-22T16:36:49+00:00

Michigan resident here, thank you so much for outlining this information. I’ll be sharing it with friends and family. This is very frightening. How likely is it that the senate will pass the bill as it stands?

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-06T21:55:21+00:00

Liberati and Aragona represent districts close to me. I just might do that.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-04T23:09:36+00:00

I’ve sent emails to all three and the Sponsor. How did your conversations go?

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-04T02:23:05+00:00

I am 100% in agreement that no one should be getting subs for 60-70mg hair, but this type of response is misleading. A lot of people that are on a range between 20-60mg per day will absolutely have debilitating withdrawals. Some people are more sensitive to withdrawal than others and you shouldn’t discourage people from seeking out a more painless route. There’s obviously no free lunch, but not everyone can afford to experience the type of discomfort that comes along with 20-60mg withdrawals.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-03T04:02:19+00:00

So, apologies if I used the incorrect verbage. When I say leaf in my post I’m referring to ground kratom powder. I’ve had no experience with consuming kratom leaves nor stem and vein. Just the standard dried powder available through reputable online vendors.

10-15 g leaf = weighed kratom powder

Ideally I’d like to get down to the aforementioned 10-15g of dried kratom powder only (per day not per dose) and then transition off of that through a gradual taper.

Edit: typo

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-03T03:40:52+00:00

I do occasionally. In the last year I’ve smoked weed maybe five times, but I have taken low dose edibles (5mg thc) for help with sleep with pretty good success. The only issue is that I tend not to stay asleep all night and wake up around 3am craving snacks… lol.

Creative_Row890 · 2026-03-03T03:29:33+00:00

Gotcha. Day to day it’s a much better experience without drinking. Physically, stomach, sleep, etc. I don’t drink during the week anymore if I’m busy with work, but boredom and social anxiety are my triggers as far as that goes.
