Surely it can go the same route cannabis did. It's not nearly as potent as pot, I feel. I mean you just chop it up and drink it down for christ's sake.

But that would at least give us another year of freedom, if nothing else. Crossing my fingers that it's true.
I am not hopeful about the FDA part but if they put the ban on hold that alone would be a pretty big victory.
Maybe that will allot us time to pool funds to get the FDA research underway

@cookie crumbs they may not approve the plant but i can see big pharma isolating and using the alkaloids to create meds
@bloodwhip same. it's as good of news as we can realistically expect i guess. really hope it works out.

True, and I hope for that if nothing else. It would make the DEA change it's ban specifications.

I don't know. I don't see how anyone who has half a brain doesn't think the DEA's substance scheduling and enforcement is completely arbitrary.

This was just sent by one of my vendors. I am confused though as they t says to make calls, preferably Mon or Tues, and that we only have two days to do so?
Quote:
Hatch Letter After 51 House Representatives signed the Dear Colleague letter sent to the DEA and OMB, Orrin Hatch of the Senate has followed up with his own letter, currently being circulated to enlist support. Today and Tomorrow are the only days available for this to happen, so if you would like kratom to remain legal, please call your senators.
Here is the full text of AKA's request as posted on Facebook last night:
"URGENT!!! SENATOR HATCH DEAR COLLEAGUE LETTER IN NEED OF YOUR SENATOR'S SIGNATURE!
Senator Hatch is one of the longest serving senators and is probably the most well-known leader on dietary supplement issues in the country!

ENDLESS PRESSSURE! ENDLESSLY APPLIED"
On Friday, the American Kratom Association, the American Herbal Products Association, the Botanical Education Alliance, and National Strategies - a consulting firm hired, using donations, to engage the public influential leaders in government to enlist their support - held a conference call to discuss the status of their actions over the last couple of weeks. This is a very encouraging look into the behind-the-scenes efforts of some very generous people to protect the legality of kratom.
Please listen to the full recording, as it provides valuable insight into the extraordinary successes achieved by the AKA and its associates in a short amount of time:
Join the American Kratom Association facebook group for the latest updates. Also monitor the public AKA page. Finally, join the email list at the AKA homepage.
Your donations are desperately needed regardless of what happens this week. The AKA will continue to fight as long as there is money to pay for it. Our voices united stand a very good chance of setting right this injustice.
DONATE HERE: http://www.americankratom.org/donate/
Focus on the Senate The Drug Policy Alliance has issued a complementary call to action, asking that you call all of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Share your story if you have one, and say: “I am calling to urge the Senate Judiciary Committee members to tell the DEA not to ban kratom. With the U.S. currently suffering from an overdose epidemic linked to opioids, the DEA is criminalizing a plant many people use to help with opioid withdrawal. If kratom is placed on the list of Schedule I drugs, people that possess kratom will face long prison sentences, and scientific investigation into its medicinal benefits will effectively be halted. Please tell the DEA not to ban kratom. Thank you.”
Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-IA) - (202) 224-3744 Ranking Member Patrick Leahy (D-VT) - (202) 224-4242 Orrin Hatch (R-UT) - (202) 224-5251 Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) - (202) 224-3841 Jeff Sessions (R-AL) - (202) 224-4124 Chuck Schumer (D-NY) - (202) 224-6542 Lindsey Graham (R-SC) - (202) 224-5972 Dick Durbin (D-IL) - (202) 224-2152 John Cornyn (R-TX) - (202) 224-2934 Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) - (202) 224-2921 Mike Lee (R-UT) - (202) 224-5444 Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) - (202) 224-3244 Ted Cruz (R-TX) - (202) 224-5922 Al Franken (D-MN) - (202) 224-5641 Jeff Flake (R-AR) - (202) 224-4521 Chris Coons (D-DE) - (202) 224-5042 David Vitter (R-LA) - (202) 224-4623 Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) - (202) 224-2823 David Perdue (R-GA) - (202) 224-3521 Thom Tillis (R-NC) - (202) 224-6342
With many thousands of calls, the Senate will be forced to take notice and hopefully bend to public pressure. Please set aside a few minute this week, preferably Monday or Tuesday, to call, at the very least, your two senators
