Should’ve stuck to beer, pizza and hard liquor like we did...65 years ago. Lots of puking but no croaking.

It’s absolutely crazy that this stuff hasn’t been banned by the FDA.

Right now 7 states ban it outright and a few others regulate it.

Rumor going around that the actual number of dead is seven. Theory is the Kratom is an incidental finding and cause of deathĺ is a new option stronger than fentanyl.

Four innocent children were deliberately drugged and murdered by their own mother and grandmother in a sickening murder-suicide plot allegedly driven by a bitter custody dispute, according to investigators. The children, Harper Harmon, 13; Hudson Harmon, 11; and 10-year-old twins Gavin and Gracelynn Harmon, were found dead alongside their mother, Sarah Myers, 44, and grandmother, Amy Steadman, 64, inside Steadman’s apartment in Mechanicville, New York, on June 23.

Four upstate New York children who were poisoned and killed by their mother and grandmother had an allergy medication that induces drowsiness and kratom in their systems, according to a new report. The disturbing details into the horrific June murder-suicide in Mechanicsville were revealed in a toxicology report, sources told NewsChannel 13. Harper Harmon, 13, and his three younger siblings — Hudson, 11; Gracelynn, 10; and Gavin, 10 — were all given kratom and diphenhydramine, the ingredient in Benadryl, before they died, according to the report. Kratom — also known as “gas station heroin” — is a psychoactive herbal extract...

I see it in all the convenience stores. Mind boggling that you can just buy it OTC. I know a guy who stole $6k for this crap over 4 months from his boss and got fired and threatened with arrest if he didn’t pay her back. He had to go to rehab. Probably still uses it.

I think FedGov is working up to scheduling kratom. They want public support before they move. In this story the cops say they don’t know cause of death and warn about speculation, but the headline and story blames kratom.

I see lots of negative stories about it over the last couple of months.

It is more blessed to have a joyful life, even if poor in this world’s resources, than to have a life so wretched that one will take something, anything, to get high.

Mrs. Eagle has been taking Kratom for fibromyalgia for about 15 years to help wean her way down from Oxycodone and Norco which she was addicted to. She still takes Kratom to keep her use of oxy and Norco to a minimum.

Kratom is the need SUV and Climate Change psyop probably funded by the pharmaceutical companies. I'm sure they'd love to see my wife get addicted again.

Whatever happened to just having a party at your college apartment, smoking Marlboros, sharing a fifth and listening to music?
