RE: The DEA is Using Emergency Powers to Ban Kratom: An Herb Often Hailed as a Solution for Opiate Addiction (We Need Your Help!)
Signed and shared. It is appalling that they are going after new victims - those who benefit from this drug and those who will end up in jail due to their drug war. The DEA should be abolished immediately by the people's emergency powers.
Yes, thank you! I'm a big fan of nullification. I hope more states just ignore their existence. And then say "Hey, any federal agents found in our state enforcing these laws will be arrested."
It's interesting to think about what the states will do. Ultimately Marijuana is in the same predicament: schedule 1 classification with certain states approving its use. The problem with Kratom is isn't grown in the US, so this ban will halt import and ultimately render any individual state's decisions pointless.
Oh I didn't realize that, then yea true. Unless the states still choose to not enforce possession or sale once the drug is here by means of black market import. The problem with that is how ridiculously unsafe a black market drug can be.
Thank you so much @mscleverclocks! It's really crazy that they go after natural plants like this when cigarettes are linked to nearly 500,000 deaths in the US ever single year.
Yes, as well as all the "legal" drugs that cause severe side effects and death which they market as "medicine". I see some pharmaceutical commercials and I have to turn them off halfway... Internal bleeding, suffocation, depression, suicidal thoughts... It's like a commerical for how to kill yourself quicker. How can your body and immune sustem heal you if you are poisoning yourself?
Of course there are synthetic drugs out there that are beneficial and may be the only hope for someone with a rare disease or disorder, but our entire society is trying to medicate with poison.
