If they can’t kill’em in (or just out of) the womb, just keep’em sedated.

Yeah, you gotta wonder how people died with food in their system, too.

The 17 that only had kratom may not have been tested for the drug they over-dosed on or they may have taken something that doesn’t have any test at all.

Kratom is the best OTC pain reliever I’ve ever taken. It’s legal in my state. Take to many and it makes me want to go to sleep.

Find the right dosage and it is seriously effective pain relief with no side effects. Way better relief than 800mg of Ibuprofen or four adult aspirin.

It worked wonders on my last round of lower back issues.

The pharmaceutical companies are the ones who will lose big if it’s not scheduled as a restricted “drug”.

For me the jury is still out and snowflakes are just as viable a test base as lab rats.

Somehow the opinion of one “Doctor” with no hard evidence of anything is to be taken for the truth? I have no experience with that particular drug, but before I take it or become concerned about it, I would like some hard evidence from a source other than the media.

That would be a Quaalude. A horse tranquilizer.
Good fun! When I was young...

I was thinking it was likely ketamine; also a horse tranquilizer. It might depend on how old he is. I didn’t know anyone using quaaludes at college in the late ‘90s and early 2000s, but I knew significant numbers of kids who took ketamine.

One more vote for ketamine.

So no problems with nausea in your case? Can you give an idea of the dosage that is right for you? I have thought of getting the sample pack from Oregon Kratom, close to me. Are you able to tell the difference between strains? Thanks for the info.

Would have been early 80’s for me. My mid 20’s.

It was probably Quaaludes then.
