It may not be long before there are laws banning it in more places:

This article is depressing, but not surprising. There have been a number of articles like this, that quote people saying scary things about kratom, with no research to back up their claims. Read the comments under the article to get a better idea of the drug.

Since it now seems likely that marijuana will be legalized nation-wide, within a few years, it's beyond me why so many people have focused on kratom, which is milder and has less side-effects than marijuana.

Oh well. I'll just be a grandmother out on street corners looking for a drug dealer, is it gets prohibited nation-wide.

We seem, as humans to be highly emotional about things and not very good at being objective!

The people making decisions about outlawing substances are not required to base their decisions on evidence. To influence their decision-making, we would have to get our facts into the media in some sort of emotional context that appeals to people who don't look for evidence. Fight with the same weapons.

That is a shame... the article said higher dosages can be sedating howing lower dosages more energy. from everything ive seen on the kratom website posts it looks like all that are using kratom are staying with low dosages and this is helping rls sxs and sleep better....
