So these motherfuckers are going to ruin not only their own businesses but likely Kratom as a whole because they wanted to make money off of the most vulnerable people they could find. Goddamn. I´ve been outside in the cold off and on trying to fucking survive for two weeks. People with shelter, cars and I´m sure, strip club and Coke money are willing to re-fuck an already very much raw and over-fucked population just so they can have more. I would say I´m disgusted, but much like working at a meat processing plant, if you see it every single day, it doesn´t give you that same nauseous feeling. Maybe it feels good, because at least I know in the chaos of this world where nothing is guaranteed, it´s guaranteed that people will knowingly ruin lives for money to buy shit they don´t need. Then they blame those people for their problems.
Who makes these fucking people? Am I the only person who had a Mom who taught me it was wrong to hurt other people for personal gain? There are people in this world who truly fit the definition of evil. It´s a total disregard for human life, done willingly and with gusto.
As said in another thread, Kratom at first was an ultimately negative thing in my book. I saw it as a drug that could be ordered in limitless amounts, allowing people to develop large tolerances unchecked. Over the years, I have changed my stance. Doctors have, once again, done what was best for them personally in not prescribing Opioids, even to people who very clearly need them. They would rather keep themselves safe and simply not prescribe. They will do literally whatever the pharmaceutical companies tell them to do. We ave proven through litigation that the government will protect these criminals, as the government is criminal itself.
Addendum
After reading the actual document, I´m seeing that they are only banning products that are not ¨exclusively composed of Mitragynine¨. I suppose that is a positive spin on this whole thing. However, I am worried by the fact that 7-Hydroxymitragynine and potentially other analogs thereof are contained within Kratom naturally, even if in very small amounts (relative to mass that is, 7OH is so much more potent than Mitragynine that even a relatively small amount has an impact on the effects of the drug). As we know from the Poppy, mutations can occur due to numerous environmental variables that can lead the poppy to produce latex containing different analogs of Morphine that are typically not seen. Don´t quote me on this, but I believe poppies can produce, for instance, Hydromorphone and similar substances in addition to variables also affecting the levels of Morphine/Codeine in the latex.
With all of this in mind, it would seem that this bill could easily pivot to a full ban of Kratom using the language that they have already put out to the public. I think that is suspicious. I´m not the resident expert on Kratom. I´ve never even used it, yet I know these things. The person writing this bill didn´t feel like Googling it?
