Yeah, I want a link and not just something copied and pasted. Pardon me for being a skeptic, but when I get my hopes up about something and it falls through it really pisses me off, so I try not to get my hopes up prematurely.

A basic Google search has a lot of mixed messages.
I'm hopeful but not celebrating, yet.

Yeah as soon as I saw this I searched a lot of different keywords and saw nothing definitive, or even anything that suggests that the ban will be postponed, just stuff about the backlash.

On a positive note I am rather pleased with the amount of coverage.
Once it's not asscrack of dawn in Tx I'm going to give my one vendor a ring. Hopefully he's out of the pen

I actually called the DEA headquarters. I was directed to call: 203-307-7977
It rang and I left a vmail.
If anyone is feeling nervous to call, writing down my main points to look over while talking helped to say everything I wanted to, and my heart stayed in my chest.
I did cut it short as I began to shake with anger.

Holy shit. Orrin Hatch, of all people, is spearheading an effort in the senate to keep kratom legal. Call your senators guys. Tell them to support the Hatch dear colleague letter.

Senator Hatch Dear Colleague letter has been circulated. I'm not even American, but it makes me sick to think that the DEA could squash this as soon as tomorrow. I hope everyone starts calling their respective senators today.

Not exactly sure yet, some 4th hand info gives some hope lol. Was sent an email from a vendor who claims to have gotten info from the Kratom association that the ban has temporarily been halted, but nothing concrete yet.

There is some satirical news site on fb spreading a fake "ban has been lifted" article. I hope that's not the news some of y'all are hearing.

**ATTENTION**
The ban on Kratom is still set. What they've changed was the date. The ban will NOT go into effect on the 30th as originally proposed. The DEA is unsure of a date but will give 48 hours in advance if a decree is made.
A new letter is being proposed to pass through the Senate. We need YOU to call and tell them to sign the Senator Hatch Dear Colleague Letter! Keep fighting!!!
Quote:
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! We do have a draft copy but we can't share until it's finalized tomorrow morning.
This is IT!!! We only have TWO days to get signees, but so many have shown interest thanks to all who have made calls and sent e-mails already!
Call, tell them your age and occupation, that you are a responsible consumer of the botanical kratom because it has *helped you by ______ and ask that they sign the Hatch Dear Colleague letter requesting the DEA to delay the proposed scheduling of Kratom "to allow for both a public comment period and sufficient time for the DEA to outline it's evidentiary standards to the Congress on the justification of this proposed action."
(In the morning he may have an original co-signer making it a bipartisan effort, so it may become the Hatch (R) and ________ (D) letter) .
Call 202-224-3121 and press option #1 for Senate. Find and e-mail your senator here http://www.senate.gov/senators/contact/
ENDLESS PRESSSURE! ENDLESSLY APPLIED!

To me it sounds like the DEA is postponing the ban until at least October the 2nd. Which doesn't mean a whole lot but that is an at least. I hope it means they're taking a tentative step into postponing it for much longer but who knows?
EDIT: yeah what Tripp said.

It's a step in the right direction. We made them budge an inch now let's push em back a mile. Keep calling your senators. Flood them with calls tomorrow!

I'm serious. We are never going to change anything by doing everything on paper by the book. Don't you get it, if voting really did change anything, they would never allow us to do it.
We need to have a revolution, we need to revolt, only then will our demands be taken seriously.
