Depends on where they're getting it from. If it's from a headshop - those prices are extremely inflated. The one here sells (or sold) kilos of maeng da for $200 a kilo. Before then, when I was first told about it, an ounce was nearly $50. No it doesn't make sense but some people don't know how to internet.

Making Kratom illegal is ridiculous! The DEA should be focusing their energy on the real drugs and stop trying to hassle people wanting to use their Kratom! You never hear of people falling out on Kratom or any devastating stories for that matter. If anything I have heard good things about it and its actually helped one of my friends conquer his heroin addiction. It never helped me with staying off heroin but It sure has helped others. They say they wanna help people with opiate addictions well I feel that helping us would be to not making it illegal and keeping it legal. Just my two cents. But they are gonna do that they are gonna do..

Not to get but in the midst of a heroin epidemic... an epidemic wherein an unregulated drug is regularly being laced and cut with extremely potent and harmful things... you would think that they would consider adopting regulations instead of banning a 'drug' outright.
I don't blame people that think maybe the government is responsible for the fent heroin going around or not its really contradictory to even suggest that this is the best way to go about things. And it's hypocritical and frustrating to also suggest it's because they care about us.

Shit man. I spent too much money on monster energy drinks, kratom, and e-juice and I'm gonna need to borrow 100 bucks from my mom to pay rent. Probably not a good time to come out, huh?

It's alright. Most people I know think people that use mushies are dumb drug-addict hippies. To each his own.

I'm just saying it's disproportionate; likewise meth users and heroin addicts were usually not anyone fruitful before the drugs

What I want to know is who's the guy, or girl, who first spoke of criminalizing Kratom, like who exactly said to the other person "ok, so Kratom, it's gotta go"', and like the person just snaps his fingers and poof it happens, like who is the guy that did that?.. Or like who even gave that guy the idea of banning Kratom..

Anyone struggling with WD, look into gabapentin or pregabalin.
I wholeheartedly disagree.
Lyrica is an addiction ten times worse than kratom. Once you're on for a period of time it's virtually impossible to get off.
It rots the brain and is used to halt seizures, yet sometimes when I take it it makes my legs twitch uncontrollably.

Yes being addicted to Lyrica would be ten times worse But the Kratom wd only last about 3-4 days And lyrica addiction won't develop that fast I'm not saying switch from long term daily Kratom use To long term daily lyrica
I'm saying when you quit Kratom you can use lyrica for 3-4 days to totally mask the wd then quit that too without being addicted to either
I have done this many times without any problems

I get where you're coming from, just feel it deserves a disclaimer. I didnt realize how hard it would be to stop using lyrica when I started. Kratom actually helped me cut back tremendously on the dose, it'll be fun times once I run out.
