Yesterday the FDA issued a warning about a plant called Kratom. In the warning they state loads of misinformation about Kratom citing that it "could expand the opioid epidemic" and it is linked to seizures and liver failure among other things.
>Why should you care? You should care because the FDA is attempting to list Kratom as a scheduled substance. Doing so would make criminals out of millions of Americans who depend on Kratom. Kratom is known for its pain and anxiety relieving effects, and perhaps most importantly, its unique ability to ease opioid withdrawal symptoms without the risk of overdose and respiratory depression - one of the main causes of death for opioid abusers. Scheduling Kratom will force thousands of Americans back onto prescription pain killers and anti-depressants.
>Why is the FDA doing this? They aren't doing it for public health. They are doing it for money. FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb has some very concerning ties to certain pharmaceutical companies that just so happen to have a hand in developing Mytragine, the main alkaloid in Kratom, as a prescription medicine.
>The proof The Administration announces a war on opioids. Glaxo Smith Kline owns the patent on the crystallized (manipulated) version of Mitragyna Speciosa. In this patent, it fully describes their scientific testing which shows minimal side effects. In fact Glaxo Smith Kline describes it as being harmless compared to many controlled substances. Now let’s look at the FDA Head, Dr. Scott Gottlieb. Prior to his assignment at the FDA, he sat on several big Pharma boards INCLUDING Glaxo Smith Kline. He is also a member of GSKs “New Product Investment Board”. Americans aren’t dumb. When you look at this in totality, Dr. Gottlieb knows that Kratom isn’t dangerous, he’s seen this GSK patent, so everyone do the math. This is perfect timing for GSK to release their crystallized version of Kratom as a controlled substance and charge hundreds of dollars for a bottle of crystallized Kratom capsules. And look at who is going to benefit from a ban on raw leaf Kratom. The one and only Glaxo Smith Kline AND Dr. Scott Gottlieb. google.com/patents/US3256149 linkedin.com/in/scottgottliebmd
Lastly, You can share the fuck out of this The hastage #IAmKratom has been used in the past.
Keep the General going, share links to the AKA on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Contact the media. Do whatever you can to keep Kratom legal.

Okay.
Bentley Hall
bump for attention
Kayden Price
bumping to defeat the pharmaceutical jew.
Samuel Thomas
it really is some top tier jewery
Blake Adams
why shouldnt they regulate it... so the people who need it dont get shitty ground up leafs from the tree out back.
Mason Butler
they only want to do this because its helping people get off the opioid jew
Caleb Bell
it wouldn't be regulation it would be scheduling it as a schedule 1 controlled substance in the same league as marijuana, heroin, lsd, etc
Nicholas Lopez
The irony being outlawing it WOULD expand the opoid epidemic
Hudson Hill
Exactly. It cuts into ((their)) profits
Connor Anderson
Let the addicts die.
David Brooks
Because then GSK is going to charge people $120 for that shit and require a prescription.
Fuck 'em.
Evan Bailey
Exactly. It’s tsking money out of the pocket of the pharmaceutical kikes. That’s literally the reason they want to ban it
Dominic Campbell
the sad truth of the matter
Parker Morgan
Someone please save Kratom.
Isaiah Brooks
Seriously. The only way to combat this is weaponized autism
Wyatt Roberts
>tfw kratom user >too lazy to into activism
Please do a good job annons. If not im back on heroin
Kayden Davis
kratom needs you user
Adrian Evans
From what I've heard people who truly are attempting to quit their alcohol/opiate habit only need to use kratom once and then the rest is up to will power or at the worst once every couple weeks to remove the possibility of severe withdrawals. Most of the shills bombarding Sup Forums with this copy pasta seem to be replacing their vice of choice with kratom which is just as degenerate.
Justin Robinson
Most Sup Forums users support big government when it comes to issues of morality. I think a lot of them are depraved and easily suggestible, so it's comforting to have something reinforcing core beliefs you've been instilled with.
Blake Walker
>Gottlieb
Ist Jude?
If so, is this kike doing the bidding of his kike masters in big pharma?
Carter Gomez
Thats exactly what he is doing. When the DEA tried to schedule it last year the DEA head was in bed with pharma too
Joshua White
kratom is just as addictive as opiods and a cunt to withdraw from
Grayson Brooks
>Don't use Kratom Goy. Instead take my Opiate painkillers.
Julian Perry
kratom stopped me from going under the knife, im a daily user and a father, husband, and productive member of society. if you asked my wife about kratom she would say its been a miracle for managing the pain from my chronic injury. there in lies the problem the government has, I have taken a prescription pain killer in 2 years...
Jonathan Morris
I'm gonna buy some kratom tonight. Maybe it'll help with my anxiety and ennui. Can Sup Forums recommend a reliable source online?
Blake Hall
*have not.
Eli Fisher
what would I discuss with my senator?
Chase Rogers
Gaia or SoCal
Kayden Reyes
Meanwhile, they are advocating low dose heroin to be used to combat opoid addiction - but plan on making kratom a schedule 1 drug.
Like holy shit, is it plainly obvious what they're doing - they're worries kratom will destroy their beloved opioid market.
Noah Clark
Liver failure may have to do with sensitive individuals, people mixing medications with kratom, or pollutants or pesticides on the leaf.
I had a liver test recently and my levels were 100% normal. Ive taken kratom daily for almost a year.
Blake Anderson
They cite 36 "kratom related" deaths. In everyone of those the person head other drugs in their system, illicit or prescription, or other health problems that could have been the cause. Kratom is theorized to have a lethal dose limit similar to marijuana. You would vomit countless times trying to eat enough raw leaf to actually overdose, if its even possible
Jason Cook
Cooincidence that white males are suffering most from opiate epidemic and it relieves symptoms of that?
Anthony James
This sentence right here says all you need to know this shit is corrupt 'As a physician and FDA Commissioner, I stand committed to doing my part to prevent illegal substances that pose a threat to public health from taking their grip on Americans. While we remain open to the potential medicinal uses of kratom, those uses must be backed by sound-science and weighed appropriately against the potential for abuse. They must be put through a proper evaluative process that involves the DEA and the FDA.' Firstly kratom isn't illegal federally and never has been, even the DEA got btfo trying to schedule it schedule 1. After that big pharma realized that it's a fucking goldmine with millions of users and there's no way to tap that market and sell them your new 'kratom' pill unless the readily available cheap leaf supply is regulated out of existence. Kratoms withdrawal compared to opiates even after years of use is incredibly mild and the drug causes no respitory depression. It's a literal goldmine for big pharma if they can get the FDA to ban it as an unregulated drug and then grant their alkaloid salt drug of it approval
Isaac Jones
Ive withdrawn from both and kratom is no where near as bad.
Still rough but its like a fourth in intensity.
Kayden Flores
I wrote ted Cruz a 5 page letter describing the drawbacks and benefits as well as the safety profile of the drug, as well as pointing out the numerous public outcries every time the GSK Jew has tried this.
Tyler Morris
If you don't stop, at least it didn't kill you like the poppy Jew will
Grayson Ward
It's safety, why we want it to stay legal, who loses (us) if it becomes contraband, and that we habe already been through this several times. Fucking assholes
Joshua Mitchell
16,500 die every year from NSAIDS. We gotta stop Tylenol!!!!! Prescribe fentanyl instead
