Kratom being targeted

I've been using Kratom on a near-daily basis for several years now. And while I am 100% opposed to government attempts to regulate/ban it's use and sale, I can say with absolute certainty and sincerity that it is a *very* addictive drug. Granted, I started out using the enhanced/extract stuff - specifically Ultra Enhanced Indo, which is the strongest (and most expensive) extract on the market. Perhaps if I'd started out taking the leaf/powder, I wouldn't have developed such a serious habit. But that wasn't really an option for me, since the whole reason I began using Kratom was as a replacement for an equally-addictive narcotic (morepheen), and for that to work, it had to be strong (that's my retrospective rationalization at least; and I'm pretty sure it's true /default_wink.png). And it worked! I was able to quit. 

This is one of the most common - and persuasive - arguments in favor of keeping Kratom legal: namely, that because of it's narcotic-like effects, it can be extremely effective in helping people end their addictions to stronger, more dangerous, illegal drugs. This was true for me, and I'm sure it's true for many others. But it's not as if Kratom allows you to quit using altogether - at least, not in my case. In truth, what it allows is the substitution of one addition for another. That's a real and important benefit, and one of many reasons it should remain legal. But for those who haven't taken Kratom, it's important to know and be forewarned as to it's habit-forming properties.

This is a very real and serious matter.  Florida introduced a bill to ban kratom that did not pass but it took the efforts of many people to give testimonial, Botanical Defense Fund as well as American Kratom Association lobbying against the ban,  New Jersey has a pending bill as we speak.  There was a very biased article written by a uninformed journalist recently in Kentucky to which a legislator replied "we must not get behind Tennessee in banning this harmful substance" (paraphrase).

I URGE anyone who care about the ongoing legality of kratom to pen a generic testimonial to email these lawmakers.  It doesn't matter if you live in the threatened state or not because once a few key states (like FL and/or NJ) start banning kratom, there will be a snowball effect.  If anyone is interested, I will be happy to get the names and emails.  As evidenced by Florida, our voice does matter. I would urge you to keep any email polite, understanding these state legislators only know what unscrupulous journalist write. They need information, not a lecture.

Edit to add:  I did not read the links above so forgive me if I have restated the obvious.  I am just kind of passionate about this.

  15. L @ Layne_Cobain: @maoi thanks for the input tho I think I’d def go the route of using hcg if I do go w TrT
  16. L @ Layne_Cobain: @maoi nah no fear of needles and if it made me feel a lot better no fear of being on it long term as who knows if my t will even rebound after 5 years on methadone not sure if that’s the norm I hope so…the more I research the more it seems like the best choice is to just go for it with TrT rather than trying to “middle” with Enclomiphene especially now that i know it probably won’t work being on methadone altho I am tapering off 5 mg biweekly so that’ll take a while I’m at 95 now from 120
  17. moai @ moai: @Layne_Cobain the longer you’re on it without using HCG sometimes, (meaning years) the harder it will be to rebound if you do come off. But I’m with you, at only 22, I’ve abused myself to the point I may NEED trt. Not to mention all of the benefits
  18. moai @ moai: @Layne_Cobain You don’t seem it, but if you are the type that’s afraid of needles for life, don’t sweat it. I’m natty atm, but from what I hear A) you won’t want to come off and B) if you implement HCG every once in a while to your protocol, you have a better chance of being able to come off T completely and restore all (or most) of your natty production. Of course, no guarantees and it is dependent on the individual, genetics, compounds and duration of exposure, etc.
  19. L @ Layne_Cobain: @tiquanunderwood when you began the Enclomiphene, were you already off opiates? Cause after further research I don’t think it’ll even work while still on methadone…I think trt with hcg to preserve fertility and ball size is the way to go for me. I just wanna feel better. Thanks for your input on the matter btw
