A law against the introduction of kudzu, krynoids, or other non-native plants that could spread and destroy local ecosystems would seem reasonable to me. Even if krynoids don’t seem reasonable.

I see this as another attempt of Big Pharma to ban any medications that weren’t produced solely by them alone to keep the profit flowing infinitely.

So what’s the process if they managed to ban ingredients with myrgratroid anyhow? Someone DEAish FDAish gets to pick shelves in a monte carlo clutch of locations, test some, test test test test test, and then tell distributors they’re out of stock because it’s decidedly DEA stuff?
Full employment for formerly gang warlord Mexicans optional?

[Diamonda] N…not the dairy case tour! Anything but that!
[Vader] Probs, yeah.

Where a government of, for, and by the people should or should not have power?

Where? Do you think the Dea, Nsa/Gchq/Five Eyes, or many local police departments, are of, by, and for the people?

Only tangentially related but I wanted to spread the good news - Germany lost a case at the European Court of Human Rights.
It is not anymore so easy to refuse drug substitution treatments for prison inmates! (It is not surprising that this happened in a Bavarian prison. Bavaria is our variant of Florida and Texas [Flexas? Terida?])

Right… So I up and looked at the NCBI.NLM.NIH.GOV posting about one 44 year old guy taking Mitragynia speciosa korth and have to realize that the 4 flavor receptor is not in itself going to roll on Hoka Twos into Speed Racer 3.

With five herniated discs, I’ve been in severe pain for years. After the VA cut off a lot of veterans from pain medication, or just reducing them drastically, I needed to find an alternative. Another veteran told me about Kratom, so I gave it a try. It became a lifesaver for me. Not only do I have no side effects, my stomach is no longer in pain because of pain medication.
Every week, I alternate between Kratom and pain medication. Because of this, I’m able to make my pain meds last longer and don’t have to worry about building a tolerance to them. But now, if they ban Kratom, I won’t know what to do. Since the VA won’t increase my pain medication, I will be left in horrible pain. When I have severe pain, I can’t walk; my legs become useless. I lose control of my bladder as well. Why is the government doing this? It’s simple: money.
I have yet to hear of a single death from a Kratom overdose. I’ve never heard of a junkie stealing to support his Kratom habit. In other words, the government is full of crap!

Reading this thread, the resounding message I’m getting is that we are long overdue for a non-opioid medication indicated for moderate-severe pain.

Speaking as a big ol hippie type person, there’s often excellent reasons for plants to be regulated.

Don’t worry, expect bupe mills on every block soon (even in white neighborhoods). That shit is worse than anything, but doctors love it because, crap, I don’t know why, really. It works for relatively new addicts who don’t IV, but that’s about it. I have a lot to say about kratom/methadone/buperenorphin/etc but not a lot of keyboard to say it on. So maybe I’ll shovel some coal into the ol desktop when I get home and /rage rant a little more then.

How obvious is it that these fucking wowsers just exist to be killjoys?
As soon as any substance comes along that’s any fun whatsoever that isn’t booze or a pharmaceutical, these presumptuous fucktoids swoop down, proclaiming it such a danger to all humanity that its existence is to be stricken from reality. Puritanical arsewipes.
