The potential #Kratom scheduling shows us the truth
Overnight, law abiding people can become classified dangerous felons
With a simple stroke of a government pen...
Lives/families/freedom/property can be taken away
We're not truly free. We are property of the state

I have faith the FDA will do the right thing and leave the leaf alone. 😉
It's not a cure for anything, it's just helping many people. PTSD anxiety depression. Thank you FDA for letting us keep out freedom to choose holistic.
@nickpwing This story shows the data problem in a nutshell: If the FDA relies on self-reported cases, then this case easily could have ended up on list, even though it was exposed as a totally bogus "kratom death." https://t.co/lu3RNJXYbQ @TheKratomAssn#kratom#iamkratom#keepkratomlegal
@wanttruth2@nickpwing Reports from family members of deceased individuals... who may or may not exist & certainly aren't medical experts. It's a lot of "I think this caused it". A few of them are supposedly from medical professionals, though in all cases, other drugs/health issues existed.
One more, from wife whose 63-yo husband died of a heart attack. She “suspects” kratom was the cause. He was taking 1 tablespoon of powder a day. Also other meds, smoker for 40 years.
Here’s another, from the wife of a man who died of a seizure. Medical examiner amended cause of death to "Toxic Effects of Mitragynine,” even though the husband had a history of seizures and was taking Dilantin (anticonvulsant) to treat them
Here’s another from a medical professional, which raises further questions. Individual tested positive for tramadol and had a history of cardiac arryhthmia.
Some are reports from medical professionals. Others from family members of deceased individuals, and are sorely lacking information. Here’s one from the mother of 22 yo white male, 248 pounds.
FDA has responded to my FOIA with some documents on kratom deaths! Not a full list of 36. I count 8 — mostly voluntary reports. If this is the data they’re relying on, then people are right to have questions. Details to follow.

@SGottliebFDA We deserve the right to choose a natural alternative. I was stuck on suboxone believing id never get off and kratom lifted me from hell. This is America we should have the right to choose plants over pills.@SGottliebFDA. #kratomsaveslives#iamkratom#keepkratomlegal
