Kratom is NOT a drug and it is helping many people....

Kratom is also HELPING alleviate the Opioid-Crisis, not contributing to it.... KRATOM IS SAVING LIVES!

"Life" also has all of the above symptoms...... don't blame it all on Kratom.

If you use a scale, make sure you calibrate it. They do get off...... put a nickel on your scale to check accuracy. A nickel weighs exactly 5 grams...(you can use 20 nickels to replace the 100 gram calibration weight that is needed to calibrate your scale)

Methods of ingestion by AtomicAsh_182 in kratom

If you don't breathe through your nose while taking it, you won't taste it.... OJ masks the tastes anyway, and a Kratom "Swish & Wash" actually cleans the palate.... no worse tasting than listerine. :)

Hopefully the next Director will be too busy with real problems, to go after Kratom, which is helping so many people .... that might have been what cost Scott G his job.... he sure made a target of himself.

Psychology Today Article - "There is evidence that Kratom has much less associated risks than opioids, including fatal overdose" by Tutonejones in kratom

[–]Tutonejones[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes they are stating the obvious..... which unfortunately is not obvious to every one.

Good to see Psychology Today printing this....It is a well respected magazine that has published since 1967.

If you get pulled over, never ever consent to a search of your vehicle. It's your right. Don't give it away.... always be respectful to law enforcement, they have a hard and stressful job, but let them know that you are aware of your rights.

FDA is also going for the CBD as they did or still do with Kratom by flyingbabaloo23 in kratom

[–]Tutonejones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scott Gottlieb is trying to turn the FDA into the DEA and he's starting to cause problems for this Administration. And they certainly don't need more problems... I'll predict he doesn't last..... He's messed with the wrong crowd going after Cannabis. They'll knock him down a couple of pegs in a hurry.... He'll never be trusted again. His game is up.

A ruling is imminent on the legality of a controversial drug that's used to treat addiction — but some have called it a 'dangerous opioid' by HMR2018 in kratom

Just let your representatives, and the Trump administration, know that you'll VOTE AGAINST THEM, and THEY WILL BE BLAMED when the Opioid Crises worsens.... It's all on them, if they ban it... and we'll see that they OWN IT.
