I have pulled the links to PA Botanicals because in it;s infinate wisdom, or more likely corruption The US Government has decided that Kratom needs more research before it can be sold legally, thing is they made it a schedule 1 drug, which is up there with heroin and other drugs, which the government prohibits research on.
This is sad because kratom is a good analgesic and it doesn’t have the addictive potential that opiates have, even though it works like opiates by binding to opiate receptors in the body. Another sad day for freedom.
I know that I use Kratom when my arhritis from my broken leg and my motorcycle accident really acts up. Kratom allowed me to forego oxycodone and quit going to pain management doctors. I have stockpiled quite a bit but eventually it will run out and I am unsure what I will do in place of it.
I am also told that Kratom was a wonder drug for people kicking an opiate or heroin habit, because it binds to opiate receptors the body has a much easier time kicking an opiate habit.
I probably dont have to point out that the big impetus behind this movement to make Kratom a schedule 1 substance was from big pharmaceutical companies, and politicians who are bought and paid for do what they are told by lobbyists…I swear if just one politician would run on the platform of outlawing lobbyists he/she would be a hero.
Another of our rights sold by our politicians….

I saw a news article on this a few weeks ago. The process seemed rather odd to me. Classify it as schedule 1 until they do more research. I agree, big pharma paid someone off.
ya Toby…Kratom was cheap and highly effective…50 bucks an ounce it wasnt combined with tylenol or ibuprofen and in reality is just the leaves of a tree
It really irritates me because they carp about the problem of opiate addiction but when faced with a viable alternative they side with opiates…
And yes I wrote letters to my congressman and senators…for what good it did…I guess I didn’t include a boxful off cash
Gotta love it. If its an FDA approved prescription that’s killed people, the FDA just slaps a Black Box Warning on it. If its a safe herb, they yank it off the market, study it, combine it with something that will kill you and put back on the market as a prescription. Our government at work.
So true goddess….the most dangerous part of opiates is the tylenol they add to it…craziness
BTW Goddess We…Um I mean I Miss you terribly…you should write here more…so I can take a day off…LOL in all seriousness I miss my only stalker I ever had
