People in Intractible pain from incurable diseases are being DENIED treatment and being treated like street Junkies. Doctors are being brow beaten, threatened with prison. While Pharma drags it's feet to create a non-addictive pain med and suppresses trials for MMJ research into removing the high factor and putting it in a safe pill form, which would cut into their profits.
DEA has also put another plant based pain reliever Kratom on it's List of ILLEGAL drugs.
It is not just INS companies pushing drugs, but PIG PHARMA. Docs get kick backs for prescribing the latest most costly drugs.

I think people are using (what they think is) something else and when the death occurs, the conspiracy is with the coroners (we elect them, folks) that identify the death as 'heroin overdose'
Every drug came and went during the sixties and just as in any capitalist market, popularity was set by the consumer who chose hallucinogens and speed (many different names so I won't even try).
For doojie to suddenly pop up out of nowhere fifty years later, especially with the much better awareness of drug trafficking in America, is to me .. ludicrous
Just sent a guy to the ICU who was prescribed opiates for his intractable pain. apparently it helped his intractable pain better when he snorted them. just sayin’.
Kratom has been a life saver for many. With the help of kratom many with addiction have been able to wean off of heroin, suboxin, methadone, pain meds, etc. to a less dangerous alternative. Yes there is a small addiction to kratom, about the same as with caffeine. I took a dose of kratom this morning due to pain caused by a SI injury. Kratom is not dangerous for most as long as it isn't mixed with other drugs.
Interesting discussion. Thanks to all posters.
Thankfully kratom is still legal in most states but it’s been a battle and it’s not over yet.
She lived to be 92 in good health.
Kratom isn’t on the DEA class 1 list yet.
They were going to put it on it, but people were like....wtf are you stupid?
So they haven’t yet.
Integrity is not a fungible commodity.
