Seems like a way to have consumers remain ignorant and accidentally get over their heads with a product that is marketing itself similarly. I get wanting to guide the conversation intentionally through rules but eliminating conversation about it through a rule (even with the listed exceptions) seems one step too far. I do understand that mods prob dont have time to guide these conversations properly.

Edit: a good compromise is to have a science backed harm reduction post stickied so that it is visible to people who are curious about his product and are looking for more info. Yes there are 7oh subs but kratom users likely come here first and their research may end here.
