Was inevitable tbh

Schedule 1 tho would be p. shit given what people have been using it for

I've seen people use it to kick opiates, pretty good.
Also seen people use it to just get high and act like a ponce. Not so good.

The real issue with Kratom is that tolerance builds really quick and you have to get the dose right or it'll make you nauseous. Otherwise there isn't really any reason for this thing to be banned outright,
maybe better regulated instead?

[Sableye]

don't expect the dea to schedule anything lower than 1, they do whatever they want regardless of the body of evidence out there.

I doubt they'll ban it. They've been trying the last couple of years but have failed due to the backlash.

They have however been working hard to choke off the supply imports.
