Hey guys. No harm done here, but I feel like this thread is inherently contrary to the philosophy here in the forums. We don't allow discussion of drug prices, legal or illegal, nor how to procure drugs. We only are here to help people use their drugs safely. We don't help in any way with obtaining them.
So, I"m going to close this one down for that reason. If anyone wants to talk about it, let me know. For future threads, the goal and objective of this one wouldn't really work even if it didn't break any rules. You can't really answer that question. It's just another commodity and its value fluctuates for that reason. I think a lot of people have turned to Kratom for treating their Opiate habit, but it's not anything I ever really thought could work.
I don't like the idea of not knowing where or when you will be able to re-up. Even if you're doing great, killing it, a lost package, closed exporter or what have you will always be hanging over your head. If something goes wrong, you could be in full withdrawal without options.
I also believe that there are a lot of upper-middle class folks who feel that Kratom or more specifically Mitragynine is a great way to remain anonymous, not go to the clinic and for a while it was this little secret in the community that many weren't totally cognizant of. I think that many of these upper-middle class folks are a known cash-cow for these farmers. I'm sure that is playing a role in the cost. Otherwise, this one's gotta be closed.
