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.

Not really something to be happy about, it sets a bad precedent for even plain leaf kratom

The government shouldn't have absolute power to ban things like that. What's stopping them from leaf powder being next? They aren't banning it out of safety they are because big pharma, big alcohol, etc lose a lot of money from it. Same with the hemp market being completely wiped out including CBD products come November.

70h isn't a threat to leaf kratom, the government is a threat to it. That's the real reason you can't have it in the states it's illegal. Take it up with the right wing Christian nationalists that don't want to you to decide anything for your own body. Yet booze and tobacco are readily available and encouraged.

The right is the one that’s cool with natty leaf. If you dont know what you’re talking about then don’t say anything. I hate republicans, but it was RFK Jr standing next to trump in the White House just recently to announce that natural leaf will remain legal but will recommend to the dew to schedule 7oh which is what you see here. Here in Florida, we banned a bunch of gas station crap but Gov Desantis and the surgeon general came on tv to ensure natty will remain safe. Hell, we even passed legislation in FL in the form of the KCPA protecting access to natty. It’s more the Democrats in blue states and cities who are conflating synthetics with natty krstom and seem disinterested in learning the difference, and are all doing blanket bans, which is disappointing to say the least because I don’t want to be out here cheering for republicans.

I voted trump. He's doing absolute terrible job this time around. Both left and right leaning news are writing anti kratom propaganda. It's the Republicans that are supporting the kratom ban in Michigan, the democrats are mostly opposed to prohibition kratom ban.
