@itsParlayRay@WhiteHouse Hes so damn desprete to have some sort of legacy, its so pathetic lmao. All he'll be known as is the man who tried to bring fascism to the US and failed miserably. MAGA rigged the elections and still lost to the democrats in a landslide, and turned Texas fully blue 🤣🤣
@DeafDean@enmanuelrm@grok We could very much see it happen now that most Republican politicians will no longer be afraid of Trump, it seems that his political power is fragile now...
Republicans behind closed doors have been saying they think Trump is destroying their party and they may vote too.
@Ghostzapper0406@flabbytofit99 As an ex MAGA supporter after voting in 2024, thank God me and my partner were educated enough to break out of it less than a year in because it's basically impossible to not question Trump constantly.
You literally have to turn your brain off to believe that shit.
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn It's obvious these people want to create a monopoly, it has nothing to do with protecting people, it's the same reason why in 2016 they tried to ban kratom, people were using it to get off of heavy drugs.
They want you on benzos for alcohol. Suboxone and methadone for fentanyl.
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn Isn't it just a little weird at the same time they banned 7OH they ban the super cheap thing to get off of it?
That's very suspicious and sounds like special interest lobbying, just like the fact the founder of the AKA, Mac Haddow was caught in 87 taking special interest bribes.
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn These friends I've mentioned were once living pretty well, they were taking it moderately, they were using it as harm reduction and now their lives are at risk, and for the ones with pain, they may get so desperate to the point where they'll look for fentanyl for the first time
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn While I'm personally not dependent on it, I know a ton of people who are and I am very worried for those them because they used it or get off deadly drugs like heroin, fentanyl, and I have an alcoholic friend, he's already relapsed went back to drinking and it's worse than before
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn For example my partner, he has spent thousands of dollars on model train sets, also had a friend that became homeless from gambling, and people shop for stuff they don't need because it elicits dopamine.
Should we make all those things illegal too? Anything can become addictive.
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn These are all of the reasons why banning it will be very bad idea, I can guarantee you while people have had their lives ruined, any addiction can ruin a life if you have an addictive personality, harm reduction and education, regulation are far better than banning outright.
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn We also have to remember that this never worked for the opioid crisis, it only made it far worse, 7-OH will be forced underground and people who depend on it will get laced with fentanyl, it will be even more unregulated and people will lace street 7oh to keen em coming back.
@jtpleeze@TheKratomAssn What I'm most worried for is if they ban 7-OH, the people who fully depend on it for getting off of heavy drugs, people who use it due to inadequate pain management etc
A lot will go back to their drug of choice and overdose, some may even get into opioids for the first time
