Good. That kratom crap can go.

I know very little of this but it seems like not all things kratom are affected.

> This temporary scheduling action does not apply to botanical kratom products that contain naturally occurring 7-OH below the specified threshold. Instead, it targets synthesized products and those containing elevated concentrations of 7-OH as outlined in the temporary scheduling order. DEA believes these substances pose an imminent threat to public safety given their effects are highly unpredictable.

According to the ROI (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/07/06/2026-13...), the threshold isn't yet fixed but the suggested value would be 1 milligram or 5% of the dry-mass. Doses sold are in grams so this would ban kratom.

Paragraph A,not paragraph B applies to actual kratom leaf.

		> Any botanical material of the plant Mitragyna speciosa, also known as kratom, and contains more than 0.050 percentage of 7-hydroxymitragynine on a dry weight basis Indeed, thanks for catching that. No maximum for an actual kratom leaf but leafs cannot be too potent, right?

Kratom is great. I used to make a kratom chai tea, felt similar to hydrocodone

Crack is great, it gets you really high.

Everything in moderation. I know a few successful adults who have tried crack. Personally, I'd never want to try it but people can do what they want. I've been around people high on powder cocaine a few times and they were incredibly annoying.

This is the proper response. I'm sure heroin feels really really really good. The amount of addicts in this thread defending their addiction is surprising.

PS: Is that a Mr. Show reference?

		I have never used kratom, and I don't plan on it. But automatically assuming anyone who isn't hellbent against it is just a junkie "defending their addiction" is pretty close minded lol.

		The Mr.Show lie detector skit for anyone wondering.

Yep, go to the same place as cocaine and fentanyl which luckily nobody ever uses right?

		I think we're all better off with cocaine and fentanyl not available at local convenience stores.
