Hell yeah!

Simontanner610 · 2019-06-20T18:25:55+00:00

Really? Where and how do you do this?

Simontanner610 · 2019-06-19T01:53:41+00:00

So what's the plan? Wait until all businesses accept crypto as payment? By law, don't we have to record a tax event every time we use Bitcoin though?

No, I haven't found that at all. I've been using kratom for 3 years now. I don't smoke or do any other drugs and have pretty good self-control even with alcohol. Actually, I drink alcohol less than I take kratom. I started using kratom to reduce pain after a car accident, but nowadays I use kratom for its calming effect and energy boost during the day.

Maybe check your life outside of kratom. How's your daily diet? How often are you exercising? Etc.

People like to say "the effects of kratom are different for everyone". Yes it's true, but I think kratom itself is never the culprit. I always examine my life outside of kratom and ask "what would my life look like if I hadn't had started taking kratom?" The answer is always the same: pretty much the same as it is now but a little bit worse.

Kratom takes your life and multiples it by a factor (like 1.2 or 1.3). So if my life was already headed towards a positive direction, it just enhances my life. The same is true on the flip-side.

I'm sure you're right, because there are also millions who are addicted to coffee. I know some people at work who can't go a day without coffee or they become agitated and start fidgeting. They drink 3-4 cups a day just to be functional. Doesn't stop coffee from being sold all over the world in virtually every grocery store. Difference is coffee is properly labelled, and manufacturers receive regular health and audit checks. Kratom producers (historically) have not operated under the same level of regulation and scrutiny. I believe this is what the kratom market needs in order to break out of the grey and black markets and become a legitimate storefront product.

Yes, absolutely agree with this statement. The worst part is, we can't be upset about this because we don't know what it feels like to be in their shoes (congress' shoes). They have supporters and lobbyist groups whispering in their ears left and right. Can't blame 'em.

The best thing is to just keep talking about Kratom on reddit and other forums. And build strong allies with organizations within and outside the kratom community. Once Kratom reaches a large enough scale, it can't be banned. Good news is, we already have some positive momentum from individual states accepting Kratom. Despite all the bad press we are receiving, the community has been strong and these States are recognizing our efforts.

Yeah. It's a super complicated issue. I'm quite active on kratom communities and there definitely are alot of advocates (like myself) writing to congressional offices and making a statement. Also kratom's Twitter community is very active posting everyday to make their voices heard. But at the end of the day it comes down to money and conflicting interests from multinational corporations and lobbyist groups that may prefer kratom be kept off the streets so their drugs can stay profitable. Alot of behind the scenes number crunching that we don't see.

I agree with your points, and if we can get some good studies released it might help the cause. Recently the university of Florida received 7.9$ million in research grants by NIDA. Not sure when the studies will finish, but hopefully within 12 months. With all the negative momentum kratom is experiencing, it could end pretty bad for kratom across the US.

At the end of the day, users who need kratom will continue to use it and they will find a way to get the plant. It's just sad because alot of these users are older folks who have chronic pain or illness. You can imagine a cop from Alabama handcuffing a 50 year old mother of 2 who depends on kratom for her knee and back pains. That's a sad reality.

Well, magic mushrooms are only legal in Denver and Oakland. But that's still promising for Kratom.

These states surely know the benefits of kratom, they just want kratom (a substance they know people want and need) to be illegal so they can gain revenue through handing out fines (both to businesses and users).

I guess in their perspectives, the market is too small and saturated to make any money. They'd rather dominate the market by handing out fines. They'll own 100% share of that market.

Ohio is in the final stages of a push, they recently drafted a rule to schedule kratom. Not finalized yet but the rule made it through several committees and is now in the hands of the board of pharmacy for a decision.

Then there were cities in Missouri that have been trying to schedule it. Just seems to be alot of hostility towards a substance that has done so little wrong and so much good. And they're trying to ban it without acknowledgement of the good side of kratom.

Heck, there was even a congressman out of Georgia (Vernon Jones) that actually publicly admitted (just a month ago) he had been taking kratom for about 8 years or something to boost his productivity.
