1. What's the risk or harm to public with kratom for its scheduling?
2. When is the ban and is it in the States or Canada as well?
p.s. maybe a petition will help keep it legal, arguably because its a plant.
1) NOTHING, but who really cares right?
Making it illegal will keep big pharma happy and keep the prison system running with junkies who also shouldn't be there cause putting something in your own body without harming others shouldn't be a crime.
I read most of the DEA's proposal and they are stating Kratom is an "imminent threat to public safety" and that it's caused multiple deaths but mostly they are mentioning Krypton Kratom which had all sorts of other dangerous chemicals in it that were the culprit.
2) the ban begins September 30 and so far isn't hitting Canada, but I wouldn't hold my breath that it won't.
And no, I'm gonna be realistic, a petition won't matter.
No one cares it's a plant, weed's a plant too and isn't that schedule one??
The entire Drug War is EVIL, the DEA is EVIL, the FDA might be partially evil as well, the prison system is evil and corrupt, a large percentage of law enforcement that ISN'T only arresting people for violent crimes and theft is corrupt, and god knows how much of the rest of our government is corrupt.
No one really cares about personal rights in the end.
If you can prove your personal rights aren't stopping the government from making money you are allowed to keep them.
But if it's your personal rights vs the governments ability to make a lot of money off of taking them away then your rights will be gone within 2 seconds flat.
I'm not even sure I feel safe stocking up and having that much of a schedule one substance in my house and i bet the DEA will be trying to find out as much as possible about those people who purchase Kratom within the next month as well.
Honestly, I like most of the people I've met on this forum but I almost wish I'd never discovered bluelight at all.
Coming here led to my immediately discovering and falling in love with Kratom only to have it taken away 2 years later which was the perfect amount of time for me to get really into it.
I wish I'd never discovered Kratom at all cause now I just have to remember how great it was when it's gone.
