Feel Free (and similar) extracts like this are especially onerous. It's no longer Kratom powder that takes a lot of effort to get into trouble with.

These extracts are not very well studied, and may be stronger than many Schedule II opioids. Especially for certain brain chemistries.

In no world should Feel Free execs not be in prison at this point. They know precisely what they are doing, and their marketing is especially nasty since they market it towards addicts as a safe alchohol alternative.

Kratom powders of 15 years ago can be defended in many ways. These extracts have absolutely no leg to stand on. They are an end-around opioid scheduling.

Look again. Feel Free does not contain Kratom extracts. It contains leaf.

I am quite familiar with it. It’s supposedly fermented leaf. Either way the impact is similar, and nothing like the natural leaf in effect or potency. Fermentation is its own form of chemical alteration.

It’s certainly not ground up leaf put into a water bottle as implied.

Most leaf you buy from leaf vendors is fermented to some degree in the country of origin. My point stands - Feel Free does not contain extracts. The difference you may notice is more likely from the addition of Kava root, which is a gabaergic.
