“Patterson, the DEA spokesman, said the reaction to the ban “was eye-opening for me personally.” He added that “I want the kratom community to know that the DEA does hear them.” The DEA describes all kratom use as “abuse.” It was therefore easy for the agency to conclude that the plant has “a high potential…
New research into LSD and psilocybin makes a powerful argument against prohibition. ‘This study assures us that there were not widespread “acid casualties in the 1960s,” Charles Grob, a pediatric psychiatrist at UCLA, told Nature.’ Over 30 million U.S. adults have tried psychedelics and there just is not much evidence of health problems,” the author…

“While the DEA originally considered the herbal supplement a public health threat, the decision to delay the ban could possibly lead to a complete reversal of the agency’s stance. ” “If the DEA gets its way, more people who struggle with addiction will be criminalized,” according to a statement by Jag Davies, director of communications…
“Kratom a legally obtainable herbal medicine, is getting bad rep by the media. It is not uncommon for it to be described as the latest “street drug“ – addictive, destructive and dangerous.
