After failing to meet requirements for federal scheduling, it is interesting that 8 years later you too are somehow unsure about it? After W.H.O. didn't even proceed with another hearing. That FDA wouldn't appear when subpoened by a court recently to confirm kratom is dangerous saying - they don't yet know that it is Dangerous - that was within this past Year! After all the slander, fear mongering, outright lies,.. I mean comon guys. I guess they know everyone is too busy to know what is going on.
Now go confirm what I just told you please if you do not already know what is going on.

I use kratom for a handful of hardships. To do this with Rx drugs would be rejected by my body at this point. It is the right thing that came at the right time. And it requires / respects my ability to be resourceful and solve my problems, yielding a renewed perception of possibility. That is Life. I will not invest in drugs. They are not what they promise. I do not approve of conventional medicine anymore except for urgent care. That's my choice. Nobody will take that away from me. It was the promise- freedom. Bought with human sacrifice I was told. So what do you do with a federal agency that presses down on everyone, has gone rogue, playing legal games, crafting a seperate reality than life as it is and pushing propaganda relentlessly? Are they bored? No they are greedy and the legal arm of Drugs R U.S. They behave just like the cut throat pharma industry: great paying jobs that people leave. This menace is due for take down. Gutted entirely.

It's not just about kratom. I think you know that. But as for kratom, which is only one - ideally suitable tool with incredible versatility which allows me to continue. This,.. after over 30 years running behind my doctors to give myself what I expected from medical treatments which is nothing exotic. I wanted solutions when possible. I got that from my own efforts after poor service from controlled professionals. I can do it better than they can- even without the in depth knowledge. Knowledge can be blinding. Then a thing about purpose lost and ethics.

Leave the resource pool alone. All of you. Under the USFDA - you are being used. Drugs- You have grown big enough. Created dependencies and stuck it to the victim. Congratulations.

I do with kratom what I've done with everything else. I made it what I need it to be without trompling on others. I did the same with every part of my system. My right. My choice. Not yours. Interference in some cases equate, if indirectly - with murder of people that just need to use their capacity to solve problems and be resourceful. True success is shared, not forced like a scared bully.  Let "loosers" find success with tools that don't hijack autonomy if for the first time.

Don't be a political demon. Don't interfere with well being or survival. It all needs to stop. I won't just beg and cry about it. Tolerance has an end.
