Meanwhile mitragyna speciosa or kratom a naturally occurring plant native to SE Asia is being attacked and falsely attributed with a handful of deaths always involving other drugs. Kratom activates opiate receptors but doesn't cause respiratory depression and as a cousin to coffee it has the same addictive dangers as missing your morning cup of coffee..

The FDA is seeking to ban this plant as its offered hope to millions of people around the world that they can wean themselves off government dope with relative ease and eventually get their life back. But, big pharma and the drug lords of the CIA don't like how this impacts the bottom line of their proxy war funding.

BTW, I speak from experience in regards to the efficacy of this plant and like dozens of others I know personally now live free of any exogenous substances with the exception of coffee and sugar. Which are also basically drugs based on the way many people abuse them.
