Nobody is dying from pure leaf kratom.
This manufactured war on kratom is about getting millions of kratom consumers on the highly addictive opioid, Suboxone, securing opioid settlement funds, and lawsuits against kratom companies
It’s pure propaganda
Don’t fall for the nonsense again

Alan Cumming is a trans ally & used his guest host appearance on Kimmel last year to talk about trans people.
I found watching Trump’s UN speech today deeply depressing. It is a matter of national shame and humiliation that he is our president. Every country in the world, friend and foe alike, sees we are governed by a vainglorious fool.
Both Matthew Perry and Presley Gerber were prescribed the opioid, Suboxone
Last night, the television show Extra with Derek Hough discussed the tragic passing of Presley Gerber.
During the segment, they used a video Presley posted back in December in which he discussed medications he had been prescribed, including buprenorphine and a benzodiazepine.
Extra edited the clip so that viewers only heard the portion mentioning the benzodiazepine, leaving out his reference to the opioid buprenorphine entirely.
Are you a Suboxone Survivor?
One of the cruelest things we’ve done to chronic pain patients is teach them that needing medication makes them morally suspect.
Needing an opioid to function is not the same thing as chasing intoxication.
Needing adequate pain control is not the same thing as “drug-seeking.”
Asking for a dose adjustment is not a confession.
And a patient should not have to perform suffering perfectly enough to convince a clinician that their pain is real.
We have spent years collapsing very different things into one ugly stereotype, and patients have paid for it with undertreated pain, fear, humiliation, and silence.
A prescription is not a character test.
Pain treatment should be based on the patient in front of you, not on the worst thing someone else did with the same medication.
@brown_john57376@CMerandi I do better with hydrocodone. Oxygen works but makes me itch a little & dosent seem 1 last as long. I think we're all different.
We pay the premiums. We pay the deductibles. We pay the copays.
Then when we actually need care, an insurance company gets to decide whether it will pay.
Healthcare should exist to keep people alive and healthy, not to maximize shareholder returns.
Something has to change.
Jon Ossoff stood up in Atlanta this week and did what Democrats have failed to do for a decade: land a punch that actually connects.
He said the sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln are fighting Trump’s war while the president himself sleeps through meetings, plays golf, and trades stocks.
He went further, calling Trump a draft-dodging, crook president who plunged the nation into a war he cannot end or win.
Not bad for a man who reportedly does not even carry social media apps on his own phone.
Meanwhile Trump apparently spends more time worrying about ballrooms and travel companions than actual governing, which, if you have seen him near a golf buggy, tracks entirely.
