Passover is coming soon, indeed it starts on April 8 at nightfall, and from the late morning on April 8 all the way through nightfall on April 16 Jewish people are not allowed to eat chametz, with chametz being anything that contains grain that has risen or fermented. Fortunately, essentially all fruits and vegetables are Kosher for Passover, also known as Kosher L’Pesach, as long as they have not come in contact with any chametz. Kratom is literally the ground up leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa tree, and therefore can…

A post on reddit earlier today indicated that shipments from Indonesia had been mostly cut off due to the Coronavirus Pandemic, which is a big deal since Indonesia supplies 95% of the United States’ Kratom. Specifically, the post mentions that POS Indonesia and DHL, the two most readily available methods for shipping Kratom from Indonesia, have been shut down. Comments from other people on reddit indicate that air cargo is definitely shutdown, and that the ports in Indonesia are like ghost towns, but apparently with the right connections it is…

Kratom veterans often use the phrase ‘less is more’ regarding Kratom dosages. This basically means that Kratom has a maximum optimal dose, and beyond that dose Kratom has no further positive effects. This helps to decrease Kratom tolerance, as opposed to synthetic opioids and opiates which can be dosed more and more, leading to severe addiction. Also, in general Kratom users can take the same dose every day long term without having to increase it, unlike synthetic opioids and opiates where the dose has to constantly be increased, and eventually…

The War on Drugs was officially announced by President Nixon in 1971, a President who claimed to not be a crook, but ended up being a huge crook. 50 years later the War on Drugs has proven itself to be an absolute failure, despite the United States spending $51 billion per year fighting it. Since 1999 overdose deaths from drugs have jumped from 17,000 per year to 70,000 per year, and the number of people in the United States locked up in jail or prison has jumped from less than…

Kratom Is Facing A Serious Threat: The FDA Is Saying The DEA Will Schedule It Soon, And The FDA Is Simultaneously Saying Kratom Is An Unapproved Food Additive

March 25, 2020March 25, 2020 Zach GruskinDEA, FDA, Kratom

Some people may think that the Kratom fight reached its crescendo in 2016 when the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced its intention to make Kratom a Schedule 1 illegal drug, at which point millions of Kratom users stood up to let legislators and the DEA know that Kratom is life saving, and ultimately the DEA decided not to schedule Kratom. However, the Kratom fight is just as extreme and serious as it was back in 2016. First off, multiple states tried to ban Kratom this year, including Maryland, South Dakota,…

The opiate and synthetic opioid crisis in America is often looked at in terms of overdose deaths, and indeed the overdose death statistics are pretty frightening. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) 67,000 people died from drug overdoses in the United States in 2018, and out of these 70% were due to synthetic opioids and opiates, equivalent to 47,000 deaths in 2018. This translates to 130 opioid overdose deaths per day, which is 5 opioid overdose deaths every hour. However, these opioid overdose deaths are just the tip…

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has waged a misinformation war against Kratom for years, claiming that Kratom is a deadly opioid even though there has never been a death scientifically proven to be due to Kratom, and science has proven that Kratom is fundamentally safer than morphine-like opioids and cannot cause respiratory failure. The FDA’s war against Kratom reached a fevered pitch in 2016, when the FDA almost successfully got Kratom banned nationwide, but millions of Kratom users stepped up to inform legislators and regulators that Kratom…
