I signed it, surprised to see it double over night, it means a lot of people are concerned and we do deserve some type of response from the white house however petty it may be.

Sorry I missed your post last night during my moment of womanly hysteria. ...'
On bad days I can use upwards of 20g. Some days I don't need any. I'd say I averaged 12g. I have a stash that will probably last me a couple more months but since I'll likely be moving soon I can't really stock up as much as I'd like. I am looking into getting some seeds and possibly growing a plant for personal use one day. The unknowns and the unreliable nature of the future still has me rather concerned.
For a little while I was looking into poppy tea as a back up but that seems unreliable as fuck, hard to measure, and if I fuck up I could choke and die on my own vomit. Or just pass out and stop breathing. I'll admit I'm not all that interested in that.
Maybe for emergencies I guess but... I'm looking into safer less "fuck me up scotty" type shit right now.

Oh yeah I'm happy to see so many people jumping in to oppose this. Even if it doesn't do much good at least I know alot of people understand it is wrong.
To be honest I'd always worried about a stigma of kratom. One reason why I reacted so harshly last night. I've always worried that people just assume I'm making up excuses to get high... Some people have.
I haven't seen or read much support for the bill. But I feel better knowing there is adamant opposition

AFAI am concerned the legal equivalent is buprenorphine/suboxone. That shit is hard as hell to stop though. As far as weak opiates go kratom alkaloids are the miracle drug that people make suboxone out to be. It has a more concrete cieling dose that actually discourages frequent redosing, and it is 100x easier to withdraw from.

I am fucking pissed. I signed the petition also. They have no fucking right. This is like watching marijuana be scheduled all over again. I can't believe people are so nonchalant about this. Even if you don't use kratom, these are our fucking right. This is supposed to be 'the land of the free'. The government has no right to tell me I can't use kratom. To make it a fucking FELONY! To lock people up in prison for using it. This is wrong.
We are on a fucking drug forum. Why aren't more of you pissed off? I am incredibly angry. I am bitter.
I'm sick of the DEA playing daddy, telling people they can't have herbal supplements like fucking kratom. This is outrageous.

I agree man this thread should be at the top of the forum until they ban it for everyone to see so that people can wake up. This is not a drug for pure recreation, this plant like marijuana has many potential uses for several types of disease.

Basically 3 months physical therapy to get muscle relaxers and painful injections, so they can give you a 30 day supply of ten vicodin. I bet 2017 sees a rise in heroin and pill use/abuse while legitimate pain patients won't get dick. They'll just poison your renal system with tylenol/ibuprofen/naproxen, or mess up your head with gabapentin. What a circus.

Well this is fucked up. No doubt my home Canada will play copycat with this law in the near future.
I have never tried the stuff and only just ordered 50g yesterday to see what the hype is all about only to read about this a few hours later.
Fuck the drug war and fuck unjust laws.

I've spent the past two days scrambling, figuring out how I'm going to help my chronic pain patients, and whether I'll be continuing my business after the 30th.
All I can say is that this really fucking blows, but sadly I can't act like I'm surprised.
On the bright side, business is better than it's ever been from everyone stocking up.

I never had much of any luck with Kratom. "toss and wash" sucks balls *blech* and taking 20 capsules isn't much fun either. Was never able to get much of an effect beyond what might be placebo, and I tried a couple different suppliers.
Really sucks for those of y'all who use it.
Can someone with a level head give me an assessment on how likely it is we are looking at kratom being scheduled? I haven't really seen kratom in the news or anything

It's not just likely, it's going to happen. The question is whether it will be unscheduled or not. We can only hope so.
