Any thoughts on Kratom ?

I'd try some.

I don't think you can get it in my state though.

It sounds interesting, and it's natural so it can't be that bad.

Used to see it for sale in gas stations and stuff but haven't for years.

"On 30 August 2016, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced its intention to place the active materials in the kratom plant into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act as a warning about an imminent hazard to public safety, citing over 600 calls to poison control centers between 2010 and 2015 and 15 kratom-related deaths between 2014 and 2016.[14] This drew strong protests among those using kratom to deal with chronic pain or wean themselves off opioids or alcohol.[40] A group of 51 members of the US House of Representatives and a group of 9 senators each sent letters to Acting DEA Administrator Chuck Rosenberg protesting the listing and around 140,000 people signed an online White House Petition protesting it.[41][42] The DEA noted the responses but said that it intended to go forward with the listing; a spokesman said: "We can't rely upon public opinion and anecdotal evidence. We have to rely upon science."[43] In October 2016, the DEA withdrew its notice of intent while inviting public comments over a review period ending 1 December 2016.[44][45]

As of May 2016, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wisconsin had made kratom illegal,[46] and the US Army had forbidden soldiers from using it.[47]"

I think it is unbelievable they would focus on this based on such a minuscule amount of possible problems , yet they have no worries about offering cigs and booze to the entire population knowing it causes millions of deaths . And then they wonder why people are so caught up in conspiracy theories these days .

They obviously have ulterior motives when they want to ban something that does so much good and so little harm .

My thoughts are disgust and anger that government would even attempt to get in the way here .
