Title: Kratom goes Schedule I at the end of the month...
Post by: Wiggs on September 06, 2016, 02:42:54 PM
The DEA is calling for a 2 year classification of the active alkaloids in kratom, and thereby kratom itself. So many people depend on it for pain relief and relief from pharmaceutical dependence, that when the end of the month comes, there is going to be an explosion of people looking for opioids of other sorts.

This is going to be really interesting and sad unfortunately.

Yup, this is fucked. Lots of people use kratom to mitigate their habit without going on methadone or suboxone, or whatever.

Public perception is that most of these individuals are dead to the world anyway, so who gives a shit? Also, buying kratom online doesn't line big pharma's pockets, but paying hundreds out of pocket a month for suboxone does. Makes a whole lotta sense..

How fucking stupid kratom helps people get clean or keeps them off harder shit. I used it for a few months to get off opiates.

Yep. I bet most of those people that will be affected have no clue that this will happen either. Hard times ahead for them. I feel for them.

Maybe... the word has been spreading like wildfire on forums. No idea what people are going to do now... you can't buy neurontin or lyrica online and those are the only two other non-narcotic, non-opiate "panaceas" that I've come across.

I've also used it in the past when I came off opioids. It helped on so many levels. Taking it away imo is an act of aggression or domestic terrorism. They know what it's used for and why. Taking it only makes more addicts to hard drugs and pharmaceuticals. Fucking assholes.

Haha. Shizzo you drunkard. Do you know how long ago it was and what I was on? I was on Lortabs, the weakest opioids and it was YEARS ago. As in pre 2012.

Sorry to burst your bubble. My behavior and my beliefs had nothing to do with lortabs....but Lololol

I wasn't on oxys or roxies  shooting them or snorting them or even smoking them. A real addict would have laughed at my 3, 10mg Lortab per day dependence. It's a joke compared to a real addict but I was dependent nonetheless.

Drunkard, Welcome to Getbig, where we start posts of with insults. I've even spoke about the Lortab issue in the past, it's nothing new. And Shizzo, I know you're kinda green but weed and lortabs don't make you hallucinate.  Pills can and will make you make bad decisions but not hallucinate. You obviously know nothing about them and weed for that matter. You sound like a D.A.R.E. representative basically meaning you don't know what you're talking about. I still love you though.

Really that works? Wonder if its available at all in the states. How did you use it what was the experience like. I have herniated disks and all kinds problems from an accident I've been taking an opiate for awhile now. I want to drop it and just deal with the pain. Mine are prescribed.

No idea what this stuff is, but if it helps addicts it should be legal. If this turns out to be because of lobbying from big pharmaceutical companies it will be a shame.

Or.... people taking opiates (kratom is an opioid) should be under the care of a doctor. To say Kratom is safe is like saying smoking opium is safe

Shitty. I've never used the stuff but I have friends that rant and rave about it. Seems like a godsend for certain individuals as well.

I heard phenibut is on the watchlist. Europe and Australia are pulling it from shelves, the last time I heard. I'm guessing it's because opiates and benzos are federally regulated and none of the pharma companies are making money off these.

Look Phil Donohue, the implications of this political move will hit hard and deep and your average numb skull like yourself will have no idea why there are so many more pill heads around. Let's not forget what's not even been mentioned is that there's an opioid epidemic in this country and it doesnt care what your race is, how old you are, what your gender is and whether or not you like c oc k or cooch. Let's not forget that the suppliers are pharmaceutical companies, and doctors with incentives to prescribe more. This Kratom was a major weapon a plant used for centuries in other countries. It lessens and even eliminates withdrawal symptoms in people coming off whatever opioid or opiate and is used to wean off opioids period or using a safer alternative to pharma drugs. Now l, they're taking it away, right when we are in the prime of this shit. It makes no sense unless this was planned.

Well you're wrong. Opium has caused wars and ruined people's lives. Kratom has not.

Kratom has ruined plenty of lives, where it is indigenous in particular. There are many kratom addicts. I agree it shouldn't be S1 but certain strains like red vein thai and the concentrates (30x plus) are drugs, strong ones at that.

If you take a good dose of kratom you are high, itchy etc.


Anything that impacts the opiod system (although a new drug was just trialed in rats) is addictive, it;s the best option as far as opiate type drugs go for addiction, tolerance etc some strains are stimulating while some are sedating, like oxycontin versus hydromorphone


If there was no opium, wars would be fought over Kratom, opium is better so is almost every opiate for pain. I think of it like a spectrum, kratom is good for pain but less addictive and as you increase anti-nociception you get more addictive shit. Methadone follows this idea.

MJ was also once schedule 1, I would say kratom is more problematic than MJ.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. No lives have been ruined in Thailand over Kratom except people who got put in jail over it. And red vein thai is just a type of Kratom sort of like Columbian is a type of coffee. It's not stronger or weaker. How do I know? I've used Kratom for 15 years.

You really have no idea what you're talking about. No lives have been ruined in Thailand over Kratom except people who got put in jail over it. And red vein thai is just a type of Kratom sort of like Columbian is a type of coffee. It's not stronger or weaker. How do I know? I've used Kratom for 15 years.

 Which strain had the best nootropic effects?

Kratom has ruined plenty of lives, where it is indigenous in particular. There are many kratom addicts. I agree it shouldn't be S1 but certain strains like red vein thai and the concentrates (30x plus) are drugs, strong ones at that.

If you take a good dose of kratom you are high, itchy etc.


Anything that impacts the opiod system (although a new drug was just trialed in rats) is addictive, it;s the best option as far as opiate type drugs go for addiction, tolerance etc some strains are stimulating while some are sedating, like oxycontin versus hydromorphone


If there was no opium, wars would be fought over Kratom, opium is better so is almost every opiate for pain. I think of it like a spectrum, kratom is good for pain but less addictive and as you increase anti-nociception you get more addictive shit. Methadone follows this idea.

MJ was also once schedule 1, I would say kratom is more problematic than MJ.

A friend once mixed up a combo of the red Thai kratom for me at correct doses, we drank it several times that day while we were out, I barely felt anything, I was slightly more relaxed but it did not impair my functioning in any way at all and could carry on with normal conversations etc.

There are plenty of people addicted to Kratom, you being one of them obviously.

You are echoing my point brah, certain types have different pharmacology, some have clear MAO-B inhibition like red vein as they are stimulating. Certain types also have different alkaloids which lends to the dirty pharmacology it has, clearly some strains are stronger than others. What do you mean by stronger?

Using your analogy, some coffees are stronger than others, if we are talking methylxathine content, if we are talking anti-oxidant level, it's more broad.

Your analogy is flawed unfortunately broseph... caffeine has no endogenous ligand or system, it exerts it's effects via Adenosine antagonism and phosphodiesterase inhibition. Opoids and the endorphin system are endogenous, we produce endorphins. Because we have a whole system for opiates, multiple receptors with differing effects you can have quite a difference in pain relief , euphoria etc, the mu, delta and kappa receptors act differently, oxycontin has a different response versus hydromorphone. Kratom being a plant like Cannabis, can be sedating, a mix, stimulating, last long or short etc you my friend are wrong.

I didn't check anything I wrote so if you can be so kind to double check my statements for validity it would allow me some free time.

Ya, I have tried most strains and some concentrates, I have really no tolerance for opiates with a few days of oxycontin for knee surgery to compare it to. I found the red thai as strong as oxy, I found the 30x stuff to be honestly far more euphoric than oxy. I had the itch, which is the histamine reaction.  I am half trolling wiggs because the earth is flat, kratom should be legal, it is addictive but is a better option.

Just look at the pharmacology of the drug.

It is mainly a MOR  agonist, depending on the affinity, partial versus full for example, paradoxical effects can occur. It can reduce pain, enhance euphoria and release gaba (what benzos effect) and means it's addicting, there is just no way around it. Other drugs that activate the receptor like morphine are addictive, kratom is slightly different but would have to be. The MOR's are in the periaqueductal grey mostly, it's going to be addictive.

You might just be a savage, have you tried other strains?

How do you guys ingest this stuff.  I checked out a website in Canada and all they sell is incense, but they suggest the same effects.
Wacked out coworker was making it into a tea I think. Guy would be out on his feet, swaying heel to toe.

I have the red strain Maeng Da as a preworkout, one teaspoon only on workout days, been doing it for two years now, and find no need to have it on non workout days....shit tastes disgusting, but it works, just like Buckleys!

Best most intense workouts, with absolute focus!

They're all similar in that sense.

Trolling shouldnt be you putting all the effort in, it sort of defeats the object.
