@misteaz79 @YouTube Yeah I hope 60 minutes doesn't do more damage. This is truly a way to see how the news can manipulate the world of people's minds while most of them are shut anyway. Got to find a way to wake him up to see the science.

Veteran describes why the distinction is personal

After Tuesday's meeting, I spoke with Brandon Odom, a veteran who came to the county center because he wanted commissioners to preserve access to whole-leaf kratom.

Odom said he and his brother both suffered injuries while serving in the military. He said they were both given prescription medications but ultimately took different paths.

“I opted to use raw-leaf kratom, and he died of an overdose due to those prescriptions,” Odom said.

Odom said he believes traditional kratom can offer veterans and others another option for dealing with pain, and he wants consumers to have access to properly tested products.

“I just wanted to make sure raw leaf was kept available,” Odom said.

For him, though, the issue goes beyond policy.

When asked how his life changed after turning to kratom, Odom became emotional while talking about his son.

“I have a beautiful son,” he began before stopping to collect himself.

“Sorry,” he said.

After a pause, he continued.

“Yeah, I have a beautiful son. Makes me very proud,” Odom said. “He plays rugby at Penn State, and I wouldn't have been a father for him without kratom.”

@misteaz79 Absolutely! We just had two customers of ours go way on a long weekend trip and they were 4 days without coming to our botanical bar. I asked them how were the cravings? Did you Have any cravings?. One was a medical doctor hospice.

@Girlpatriot1974 North Korea would have shot him the first time for crossing their border. We left them in three times. What are we going to do? Set him home again?. Wake up America

Study on kratom as contributory in polydrug deaths: "medical examiners, clinicians, and regulators are making consequential decisions about kratom without the evidentiary foundation required" https://t.co/Yks4Ypnozm

They call it Kratom. It is not the Kratom I make tea from. This is the Kratom a few that makes you addicted or an addict. Very dangerous stuff. Please share this post. Natural leaf Kratom is not addictive.

@misteaz79 @YouTube We need to flood the internet with the science. Like the scientist from the University of Florida. He states in a Georgia hearing. Natural leaf is not dangerous. The ones sold in gas station shots and pills. That's the problem.

@ToddAUnderwood1 Writing
7-OH is the work of mad scientists, and pharmaceutical companies can't wait to get their hands on it so they can profit by adding chemicals. Anything natural, this country wants to band and keep us on chemicals.

[Jim G @1963kavaman]

@misteaz79 Like to have him come to are shop. We won't sell that s***. Also on a botanical bar right next door and sell Kratom tea and it's natural form not adultery. People don't know how to study and do their homework.

[Jim G @1963kavaman]

@misteaz79 @lsromney Just watched the Hillsboro Post and now read this one. Why is it so hard for people to understand? Naturally the Kratom is safe. They're that many stupid people out there not hearing us. No one's ever gone after alcohol or cigarettes like this.

[Jim G @1963kavaman]

@misteaz79 Come on Hillsborough county, Florida, you're much better than this. All you have to do is have police officers check vape stores and convenience stores. The state of Florida already has laws on the book. Enforce them.

.@SecKennedy calls out the “new wave of opioid crisis” — 7OH.

“This wave is now being driven by ‘gas station heroin.’”

@CMerandi @cowgirlsmama That's funny. Suboxone is people but they're all trying to ban Kratom. Strange country we live in these days. Bad when our politicians and physicians are on the same team. Take from the public.

[Jim G @1963kavaman]

@ToddAUnderwood1 @AuforGA You're 💯 right and logically said, it all truthfully. Where I see it as a constituent of these politicians governing, Georgia. They are not doing what is proper or right for the Georgia citizens that use regular Kratom leaf. Thank you Todd for your fight.
