Flux Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) While the US has been one of the fee countries to not yet list Kratom as schedule 1 narcotic, it comes as no surprise that they would do so. More moralistic probibitionism in the service of Big Pharma and the corporate corrections industry. Hope this doesn't affect suppliers that deliver to OZ http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidkroll/2016/08/30/dea-to-place-kratom-mitragynine-on-schedule-i-premature-move-may-compromise-research-benefits/#74e4fd297924 Edited August 31, 2016 by Flux Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeti101 Posted August 31, 2016 This has been coming for a while - but no one wanted to believe it would happen - and I suspect some people had a vested interest in hosing down rumours of a coming prohibition. It's certainly going to worsen the already dire opioid issues in the states. I hope people who are in a desperate situation don't get wiped out by the illicit and RC opioids that will try to fill the gap in the market. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
