  1. “7-OH is an opioid that can be more potent than morphine,” said FDA Commissioner Marty Makary. “We need regulation and public education to prevent another wave of the opioid epidemic.”

    What Marty isn’t telling saying is that 7-OH doesn’t cause respiratory depression, and is thus safer than Morphine & all other opiates on the market – including those used to give maintenance doses to recovering addicts.

    The FDA & DEA love to say that Kratom is dangerous and point to reported “kratom overdoses”. But when you dig into the data of these “kratom overdoses”, you’ll find toxicology reports that ALWAYS truly dangerous drugs – the types of drugs that do kill people.

    The most likely way in which one could be hurt by Kratom is by way of lead poisoning. Kratom isn’t regulated, so its leaves are often crushed by lead devices in southeast Asia, which contaminates the product. The FDA should step in to regulate Kratom properly to prevent needless contamination. But a ban is just stupid. Kratom & 7-OH are excellent tools for getting people off the opiates that do kill people.

    1. While this sounds great Robert, why is this stuff sold in gas stations? It seems like if it’s so good then it should be sold in health food stores vs the local gas station.
