Can you still order it online?
I can here in Canada. I was all excited at first until I actually tried kratom. I didn't like it at all.

I don't think anybody actually likes Kratom, it's just one of those RC's that's gained popularity because it's somewhat of an analogue to things that are harder or more expesnive to get.
Lot's report addicting qualities as well as moderate withdrawal symptoms.
Not my cup of tea. As for the legal ramifications, law enforcement is going try to make a dime any way they can. Kratom is just one of many on a long list of compounds they are trying to catch up with.

Yeah man, all Kratom is made in Chinese labs.

And to think an internet search would have instantly revealed that "kratom" is the name of a Southeast Asian plant and not a synthetic chemical compound.

Derp, just because it isn’t made in a Chinese lab it doesn’t mean it’s not without research. Fuck all, how dumb are you?

Dude, Kratom isn't an RC.
It's a leaf that grows on a tree that's part of the coffee family. The final product are the leaves dried, then milled to a powder which you then orally ingest. It has literally been used for thousands of years by humans.
It's fair to say the research on Kratom is rather limited in scientific journals, but there's a lot of knowledge and personal experience on this forum alone about kratom. There has been for years.
Publicly, all the FDA is concerned as far as kratom goes is that companies don't market it with claims of medicinal benefits. Aside from that, the seizures that were happening 1-2 years ago I believe have altogether stopped.

So it's a chemical, one without research. That somehow makes it a nice save?
Good work on that emoji. Kratom is a shit RC, get over it. There have been hundreds if not thousands of people who have tested it.

You're wrong. Kratom is not a chemical. Nor does it contain them. It's a leaf which contains chemical properties similar to opioids via active alkaloids.

So there's no chemicals in Kratom?

kr0nik0 may be (incorrectly) using "chemicals" to mean "synthetic chemicals". It is of course composed of chemicals, just naturally occurring ones.

I'm sure there are chemical compounds in the leaves just as there are in any other leaf (such as chlorophyll). But no, you stated kratom is an RC. Kratom is not a chemical in itself.
