They sir are super smart.
I was watching a documentary on netflix on the failed drug war. They know it failed. They know its a complete and utter failure. They feel bad for all of the 'soldiers' who will most likely be out of a job and add to the ever growing populatiom of jobless. That and losing money from the big pharma. We all know its correlated.

I've got two cuttings growing, seems to be doing alright indoors in my bedroom, no humidity tent. Had some wilting on the bigger one a week or so ago, but I misted it and it came right back.

What are the rules/legality of live plants after the DEA bans it?

Depends on what they decide to ban. If they ban mitragynine then technically plants are that grey are like san pedro cactus. Maybe just processed is gonna be banned. I dont know how that works.

Hopefully it falls in that gray area. I mean do they expect people to turn in and destroy trees? Not that I'd put it past them.

I would think the whole plant would be deemed illegal,and mark my words,every part of it will be illegal to posses,when that bill is passed;)
Kratom is a easy to grow,and once it starts producing leaves,it's already ready to be used.
On the other hand,San Pedro cacti take years from seed to produce anything worthwhile,and even then it takes a massive amount of material,or knowledge of extraction to even get anything out of it.
Most everyday people aren't going to go through all that trouble,and this is what has kept San Pedro legal up until this day. If all you had to do was take a few bites out of a San Pedro cactus,and trip,you can guarantee it would be banned too,just as Lophophora are

Kratom trees grown outside of their natural habitat are usually of very low potency tho. Also to get enough leaves to sustain daily use youd need a bunch of them.

Everyone seems to spread this, and I'm not saying it's necessarily untrue... But do you have any scholarly report whatsoever that claims this with any amount of certainty?

The notice of intent the DEA made makes it look like just the chemicals in kratom are being scheduled.

Not sure on potency of kratom as I have yet to try it but resisting the urge to pick leafs along with tending, regular feeding, and ideal humidity of the south has allowed it to grow huge...I have a special heater for it in the winter. It does not blow air so it won't dry out.

In this work, we have presented the first thorough, in vitro characterization of the opioid receptor pharmacology and signaling of the natural Mitragyna alkaloids in receptor-level functional assays. The partial agonist activity of (−)-mitragynine at MOR is likely to account for many of the effects of Mitragyna speciosa extracts in humans. However, the other major alkaloids isolated from the plant, paynanthiene, speciogynine, and speciociliatine, all exhibited competitive antagonist activity at this receptor. Considering that cumulatively, these secondary alkaloids accounted for an approximately equal percentage of the total alkaloid content compared to mitragynine in our extracts, the gross psychoactive effects of crude plant material are likely to represent a complex interplay of competing agonist and antagonist effects at the opioid receptors. It was also found that the potent oxidized analogue 7-OH is not necessarily present in all extracts of plant material (as previously suggested), so the potential contribution of this alkaloid to the effects of Mitragyna speciosa is not general, unless 7-OH is formed as a metabolite. Exploration with several synthetic mitragynine analogues allowed us to define basic SAR at each of the existing substituents, including in regions (the D ring) that were only accessible to derivatization via total synthesis. This work revealed that opioid activity in the mitragynine scaffold is quite sensitive to structural modification and suggested that the Mitragyna alkaloids adopt a unique binding pose at MOR, distinct from that of classical opioids. This possibility was further supported by molecular docking studies at MOR. The first total synthesis of the unnatural enantiomer, (+)-mitragynine, likewise allowed us to confirm that the naturally occurring isomer is the more active opioid agonist. We also found that mitragynine and 7-OH display biased signaling at MOR, being selective for the G protein pathway. Thus, it is hoped that this scaffold may represent a starting point for the development of novel opioid analgesics with reduced side effects. Relatedly, the finding that, in addition to their activity at MOR, both mitragynine and 7-OH are KOR antagonists, suggests that Mitragyna alkaloids or their synthetic derivatives may also serve as leads for novel dual-action antidepressants. In this regard, mitragynine itself is of particular interest, as it acts as both a low efficacy MOR partial agonist, and a KOR antagonist. Both of these mechanisms have been shown to elicit antidepressant effects in animals, and in the case of MOR, humans as well (see above). However, modulators of the KOR have received considerably more attention in the psychiatry community in recent years, likely due to their apparent lack of abuse potential. Antagonists of this receptor are antidepressant in animal models and oppose a variety of stress-related responses that are believed to be mediated through the endogenous KOR agonists, dynorphins.61−63 Further, several agents in this class have entered clinical trials for MDD, but none have yet reached the market.64 Given the ability of mitragynine to perturb both of these opioid signaling systems in the direction consistent with mood enhancement, it is unsurprising that it has been shown to exhibit antidepressant activity in the forced swim test (a rodent model of depression).65 Therefore, Mitragyna alkaloids also hold promise in the treatment of mood disorders.

Well theyve put a lot of work into this and found out some interesting stuff. They say here that mitragynine activity is pretty senstitive to molecular changes. This means they might not be able to find something thats superior to it.
