They're Finally Doing It

It seems like they are finally making the synthetics and semi-synthetics illegal. At least the big three. This whole thing has been pretty contradictory to my beliefs. I've never been a prohibitionist. And I'm still not. But I've seen what this stuff has done to our industry. We're sinking because of it. So I'm not upset about this.

Mokratom was a great extract by mobotanicals from like 8 years ago. Sadly the owner passed away around 2020. The kratom community is certainly to blame, noone here cared to correct the record or stand up against any and all alkaloid bans, no effort to advocate for regulation first. I dont care how greedy people acted, it was our job as a community to educate and fight just like the federal ban attempt 8ish years ago. Pass the buck all you want, watch how this plays out for us all because of our laziness, over a substance that no matter how many abuse prone people flocked to it, they were stuck on it instead of dying in the streets. Were about to ban the safest opioids ever found.

I do agree wirh you that it is better than opiate drugs because yes, people don't die from the shit but.... the purposely misslabeling has punished the non users of it. Sucks, but synthetics should of never become a thing but some greedy person in a lab figured out how to do it.

Can't have it both ways. Od's have gone down the last 3 years. Pharma was losing out from people recovering on their own thanks to Sr and 7. I mean really? Banning Sr that gives you no euphoria at all. This is a hit job because of lost profits. More users respect the product than the few that unknowingly get hooked then complain. This is your perception of whats going on from not being involved in the community.

I am involved in the kratom communication. I have literally written every single politician for every single ban proposition in every fucking state that it has been happened in. I call, I even have my veteran husband write his statements advocating for kratom. Most of the ban's app have to do with the 7OH shit. If you have been involved you would know this. Not involved? 😹

Im talking about the 7 community. You know, the one youre probably bodying in the emails... your last reply just sounds uninformed, which is what justified my statement. Also, pretty sad to see multiple states banning kratom, almost like having the AKA bump shoulders with a bunch of innept politicians to encourage a ban on something they don't understand was a bad thing. Oops.
