Never tried kratom and wasn't planning on it. Guess that was a smart move, bc I am in no way dependent on it, so this legislation has zero impact on my life.

Nevertheless, I signed it bro.

There's no profit in Kratom.
By leaving it legalized they're allowing a competitor to the $100 billion opiate industry remain on the market.
This is the same industry that tried to ban vitamins because they're too dangerous....
Yet if you take an entire bottle of vitamin C the worst-case scenario is you'll have terrible diarrhea.
Take an entire bottle of aspirin and that'll be the last thing you ever do.
Which one do you think is more common in every household in the United States?
Has nothing to do with safety. Everything to do with $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
And that's why it'll be banned.

Pretty cowardly of you to delete your first post too. Strong anti-drug warrior we have right here.

I don't ban people for their personal opinions, but it's clear when you saw a mod posted that you said "Whoops! I better delete that". Grow a spine.

I use it pretty often.
I have grade 1 spondylolisthesis (L4-L5) that can make life absolute hell some days. Kratom helps me get through those times. Can't say I've ever really experienced any negative sides on the stuff either. Really hoping that the ban won't go through or else I may have to start going back to a pain management clinic (which I do NOT want to do)

All it takes is a second to email every Congressman & Senator through the link I posted on my #2nd post. If you could just do that, it might help someone out there.
Just yesterday, I posted this on my Twitter:
You can also work to take action to work for the decriminalization of MJ through NORML. So, get involved, bro. We can make this happen, all it takes is will power.

My understanding is Kratom causes physical dependence like that of phenibut. Is this correct? If one were to use Kratom for three months straight will one go through physical withdrawal and DTs from cessation?

While I am not anti drug. I am a drug addict in recovery. After about a 10 minute search on google. This is just merely exchanging one addiction for another. Are opiates dangerous? Yes. Is this drug? It sure looks like it causes the exact same dependence. It is just more easily available. Do I think our criminal system is all messed up? Yes
OP why do you advocate for such a drug? I understand MJ as physical dependence is nada. Mental addiction from pot? Yessir. Why are you wanting people to substitute one addiction for another? Methadone clinics exist for this very reason. Is it better to be on methadone rather than H? Sure as it is regulated. But if one wants to flourish and experience all life has. One needs to get clean. I'm all for harm reduction. If someone cannot or will not quit and they will die if they dont, then harm reduction ie methadone is appropriate.

Here's the thing I don't get about either of these. For me, neither kratom nor phenibut get me into any kind of euphoric state. I sometimes take 250-500mg of phenibut if I can't sleep at night, but any more than that and I get a super painful dopamine headache the next day so I can't see why the negative feedback of that wouldn't keep people away from getting addicted, but apparently they do. Kratom can cause dependence used concurrently for about a month at around 5-10g I think? Go back to my first and second post and there are two videos from The Drug Classroom that talk specifically about kratom and how it's physical dependency works and that you can expect if you do get addicted.
What do you mean by DTs?
The standard dosage in the tests of phenibut by Russian scientists were around 75mg to get good effects, so why people would be dosing with grams and grams is really beyond me.

most people would use it appropriately I am sure. But same as any other drug if it causes physical dependence then it needs to be regulated. That's my opinion. DTs are Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal. It involves sudden and severe mental or nervous system changes.
I experienced these when I was getting off benzos. I couldnt read for a few weeks.

Read this thread in full, and check /r/kratom and /r/opiates and you'll see guides for integrating kratom into a successful @ home withdrawal kit. Kratom, along with supplements like tyrosine, GABA, P5P, agmatime, d-phenylalanine and even phenibut, one can successfully kick a fullblown addiction without going into a detox center. Clonidine and passionflower also works wonders.While I am not anti drug. I am a drug addict in recovery. After about a 10 minute search on google.

Here's a post I made earlier that you must have missed when reading what I'm advocating for:
Originally Posted By pogue⏩

Kratom does activate the opioid receptors in the brain, but it does it in a different manner that regular opioids do, in that it doesn't suppress breathing and it doesn't seem to having as strong binding affinity to those receptors as say morphine or things like that does.
But, my argument isn't about that so much as it is that it's going to create a black market. It's going to turn law abiding citizens into criminals, and it's going to take a supplement off the market that's helping literally hundreds of thousands of people kick prescription opiates which are at anepidemiclevel in this country. Watch the first video of that poor lady in the first post I made, and then watch the one about addiction at the bottom. We still don't understand all the complexities of the brain and how it works -- even placebos have shown to work as well as anti-depressants. So, for me, it's not a matter of getting addicted to kratom. It's a matter of personal choice.
I'm libertarian when it comes to drugs. I believe anyone should be able to put whatever they want in their body as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else or infringe on their rights. I realize this isn't something everything else agrees with, but go up and watch the war on drugs video too and you'll see that instead of trying to ban and eradicate a substance, we need to use new tactics of harm reduction to treat addicts instead of throwing them in a cage in a warehouse.

All prohibition does is create a black market for the substance in question, which in turn fuels the profits of criminals and narcoterrorists who can readily supply whatever they're looking for extremely easily. It also creates an unsafe marketplace for these compounds that are often diluted and adulterated with more dangerous chemicals, putting the users of these substances in greater danger than before the prohibition was enacted.
PLEASE go back and read the first two posts and watch the videos there before posting any more. I'm repeating myself on topics I've already covered.

not everyone has the self controll of a puppy and can actually enjoy/use stuff in the correct way
Look around any street...should they BAN all fast food because of the physical dependancy? that makes more sense than banning kratom
