FDA is trying to ban kratom again

[CiproKilledMe]

Just one more nail in my coffin if they succeed! And yet severely toxic and disabling drugs like Cipro are still on the market and being given out like candy (Cipro being what cost me my life and is the entire reason I even NEED kratom now!). I take kratom every morning when I wake up just to be able to wake up and face the hell that is now my life. It is the only relief I ever get as opioids and benzos don't do shit for me. Now the FDA wants to take even that 1-2 hours of relief I get every morning away from me. Unbelievable, but I knew it was just a matter of time. They might as well just come to my front door and kill me themselves.

If you value having access to kratom, please help by submitting your testimonial here: https://www.americankratom.org/advocacy/who-formal-comments.html

Nope...they tried to ban it back in 2016 but there was so much public outcry they reversed course.

Hmm I just bought a bag after wanting to try it for years and years. I've heard "do it" and "don't it was worse than opiate withdrawal"

What does it feel like? Do you smoke it? I see it for sale nearby. I can't feel anything from drugs and alcohol. I can't handle being stoned from pot. Is it like pot?

I love Kratom. It is one of the only things that actually helps me a little, so I understand how this is upsetting. Fuck the FDA

I drink mine in a tea. It is fairly bitter but it gives you a calming and slightly euphoric feeling.

No, it's nothing like pot. I hate pot too. You drink it or can get it in capsule form. For me, personally, kratom feels like I've taken really strong pain and/or anti-anxiety medication. There are different strains with different properties. It's actually better than any pain medication or benzo I've ever taken, which is why I knew it was only a matter of time before the FDA came for it. It was too good to be true.

How much do you take at one time?

How much do you take at one time?

I take 1.25tsp each morning. You have to take it on an empty stomach which is the only reason I don't use it all day long.

fuck the feds oink oink

bottom line: the fda is full of corrupt dumbasses. just look at the recent Aduhelm (aducanumab) approval. what a joke of an organization lmao.

I love kratom. I am in a similar situation. A LEGAL pharma destroyed me, and kratom is one of the few things that helps. If it is ever banned here, I will move to Vietnam where I can get my kratom, benzos and cerebrolysin easily and cheap.

I will submit a testimonial. It has helped so many people. I have tried it tho and it doesn't help me. Perhaps i didn't take enough and i read it works on the same pain receptors as tramadol and i have become pretty much immune to tramadol, and they won't give me anything better for pain. They won't give people legitimate anti pain medicine. They want to torture us so we wind up here and then they act outraged that we are here.
"I will submit a testimonial..."

Oh but the link doesn't work. I see, your post is over a year old.
