How can Congress delegate law making to a Star Chamber like the DEA? Only Congress makes laws. Totally illegal and should be challenged.

They probably have some BS rights to "emergency schedule" "serious national health concerns" or some bullshit like that...
I totally agree in theory though, I wish there were more ways to challenge stupid decisions like this.

It is now more important than ever to contact people in the position to help. In order of what we think is most effective, please contact the following:
1. Most importantly, contact the office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Karen B. DeSalvo. She is specifically identified in the DEA's intent to file as someone who is collecting comments and whose opinion they will take into consideration. Calls will most certainly be most effective - ask to leave a message regarding the banning of kratom.
2. Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH) Phone: 202-690-7694 Email: ASH@hhs.gov Postal Address: 200 Independence Avenue, SW Room 716G Washington, DC 20201 Web Site: http://www.hhs.gov/ashMediaInquiries:ashmedia@hhs.gov and 202-205-0143 Acting Assistant Secretary: Karen B. DeSalvo, M.D., M.P.H., M.Sc.
2. Also, find the contact information for your Congressional Representatives using this link: http://www.house.gov/representatives/find/

Ditto. Plus I placed a "fuck you DEA" order for 8 ounces...and I have no need or desire for it. Never tried it before and don't even know how to dose it. Just a fuck you/how dare you motherfuckers gesture. Everybody should do the same. My recommendation: Get it while you can - just in case the march/petition fails.

Good call Nature Boy. I am planning on hitting a local smoke shop and getting some today after I'm off. I as well have never tried kratom and know next to nothing about dosing but again, fuck the DEA.

Maybe this is a ploy by the DEA to pump and dump the Kratom market, which they have secretly cornered...

If anything this is a ploy to get the kratom market cornered and regulated.

If you think that's amazing, I believei may be much more jaded than I admit to myself.
I live on the Canadian border and I have seen some dumb shit at customs over the years, banning someone from crossing sweet potatoes because potatoes are illegal to cross. But then the next week she crosses canned yams.
Detaining people for hours questioning dual citizens living in Canada coming to work in America 5-6 days a week, about why they are crossing so much.

**Be Advised**
Quote:
People need to start writing letters to the following person. This is the assistant secretary mentioned in the DEA notice and she is the one collecting public comment. You should start out by politely introducing yourself then lead in to how long you have taken Kratom and what for. Then contrast your life before Kratom and after Kratom. Then request they not Schedule this drug until some research can take place because as we all know, once this is added as a Schedule 1, it's not coming off. Mention specific things that are propaganda, such as deaths, getting "high", vs. what you know to be true and site sources for that information. There are studies out there and kratom deserves a chance. If nobody makes noise and all the DEA hears is crickets they are going to continue. They obviously may continue no matter what but at least we can honestly say we tried. Maybe some of these websites for kratom can put this in at webform for people so the letters can be sent out automatically? I may be able to do that later today.
This seems to be the only person that emailing/calling could actually make a difference. Taken from the notice of intent:
From the Notice of intent: "Although the DEA believes this notice of intent to issue a temporary scheduling order is not subject to the notice and comment requirements of section 553 of the APA, the DEA notes that in accordance with 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(4), the Administrator will take into consideration any comments submitted by the Assistant Secretary with regard to the proposed temporary scheduling order."
Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Contact the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH) Phone: 202-690-7694 Email: ASH@hhs.gov Postal Address: 200 Independence Avenue, SW Room 716G Washington, DC 20201 Web Site: http://www.hhs.gov/ash Media Inquiries: ashmedia@hhs.gov and 202-205-0143 Acting Assistant Secretary: Karen B. DeSalvo, M.D., M.P.H., M.Sc.
Karen DeSalvo is the one who needs their inbox flooded with comments. Then, hopefully they will mention how there was uproar before this Notice of intent was even published. There's no indication anywhere else in the Notice of intent that implies considerations to reverse the decision would. They've made their mind up, and the latest CDC report pushed this issue past the point of no return. It all happened very fast once the CDC got involved... When sculpting your message to someone like Karen, it is important to learn a bit about who she is. Here's just a little bit of info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karen_DeSalvo"
No mercy until we've won this war!
