Regardless of your view on kratom, you can't argue with the fact that it's a natural herb which greatly alleviates wd symptoms for people trying to quit @pi@te use.
I personally enjoy it once in a while, it does give you quite an energy boost and an overall warm feeling. It's effects are definitely not strong enough to even consider it a recreational drug let alone a schedule 1 drug in my opinion.
The fact that it's natural is exactly why they want to schedule it. Heaven forbid people using an herbal remedy when big pharma isn't going to make a cut. Maybe I'm just a tin-foil hat wearing individual, but lets be honest...Do doctors get kick backs for Rxing certain things? Does big pharma care about the 0pi0d crisis? Only thing they care about is making money...Just look at the epipen scandal. I'd go completely all natural if I didn't have to worry about getting a knock on my door, or having to deal with the repercussions of a random UA at work. Heck, I keep on thinking about moving to one of those progressive states out west...
The part that saddens me most is that the people who really need good relief are being scrutinized because of new rules and other junk. Sometimes I feel that the G0V would rather everyone just go out and do H...It's sad...
Sorry for the rant.
