@AntiKratom These town halls don't listen to the people, all the KDA gang shows up and pours on the drama

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@thekratomcowboy @EndKratomVA I use natural leaf every day as a responsible adult . Been taking the maximum dose for 6 years now and it hasn't made me sick at all , so much for it being deadly

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@Kratomlife420 That sucks

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@WriterMera That just happened in Castle Rock CO

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@siennagsd @JeniferPMartin1 Exactly!

[Jenifer M 🍄 @JeniferPMartin1]

Fentanyl is ravaging our country, and people are telling y’all that kratom helped them turn their lives around. Veterans. People living with chronic pain. People who have struggled with addiction and are finally finding some stability. Do our voices just not matter? Some of us know what it’s like to be stuck in that “fetty fold.” We know what it feels like to lose everything and wonder if we’ll ever get our lives back. When we tell you this plant helped us, why is the response to take it away? To lawmakers who have banned kratom or are trying to ban it, I think you’re making a huge mistake by ignoring the people these decisions affect. What is your plan for them once you take away something they say is helping? Nobody is saying kratom is perfect or without risks. We’re asking for testing, honest labeling, age restrictions, and accountability for companies selling unsafe products. We’re asking you to listen. We are real people with families who need us. Please stop treating our stories like they mean nothing. Protect consumers. Don’t punish us for trying to get our lives back.

@thekratomcowboy I'm so excited you will do great!

@CoDoc442 Who in the world gets harmed physically or mentally by smoking marijuana?

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@WriterMera I take 50 gms of leaf powder a day so I would be double dead!

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@misteaz79 Can NOT believe this happened in CO despite all that wonderful testimonies from advocates , this is despicable , these legislators are morons.

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@OGKratomQueen Enjoy this coming winter, no blizzards or sub zero temperatures!

Dean Francis has built a national campaign around his son Cameron’s story. Through End Kratom Addiction, he tells lawmakers and the public that Cameron, a former college athlete, had his life destroyed by natural kratom leaf. Francis has publicly claimed Cameron’s addiction was “strictly” kratom leaf powder.

But the available public record tells a different story: alcohol appears again and again, alongside treatment history, bottled concentrates, and synthetic 7-OH.

What the Record Shows: A Timeline

Pre-2017: Alcohol already a part of the story — Cameron reportedly decided to use kratom as a social alternative to drinking at parties. However, his athletic performance decline begins in 2016.

2019: Car crash leads to Alcoholics Anonymous (per family’s own account).

July 2020: Arrested for stealing beer at Sheetz; admits “desperate measures to satisfy the alcoholism.”

March 2021: DWI conviction with .139 BAC and open-container charge.

2021: Detox with Naltrexone (alcohol dependence medication) prescribed.

2024–2026: Multiple residential treatment programs, including ibogaine in Mexico; court-ordered ongoing treatment.

April 2026: 911 call describes whiskey and alcohol on Cameron while Dean attributes the crisis to 7-OH.

The Timeline Begins Before ‘Kratom’

Dean Francis is your typical kratom hater.

Instead of taking responsibility for what happened in his home, he demonizes a plant

Kratom haters are insufferable

@end3of6days9 I love Tang , but it has artificial color

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@LNseven5 Plain, whole leaf has none of that. No candy flavors no colorful packages and it tastes like bitter mud. Only responsible adults are interested in it and have the right to purchase it .

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@misteaz79 @sober_empath Great advice Misty!

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@Heaven807436108 Same here

[LabRat @bo98261940]

@OGKratomQueen I'm sorry but those moms got the wrong idea about how their sons died. Plain leaf powder is not deadly, it's just not.

[Chad Corral @CorralChad]

@CMerandi Dean Francis built an entire organization out of the lie that his son’s addiction was only about natural kratom leaf. I guess he didn’t know that his lies are easily exposed with FOIA requests.

Dean Francis is the uber-wealthy “Gary Mendell” of anti-kratom activists. He, along with trial attnys, are in full-court-press bully-mode, running the exact playbook they used to eliminate access to Rx opioids. He hosted trial lawyers on his latest show. https://t.co/OQiapMR08z
