FDA/RFK 7oh announcement

Post by Adrumaddict »

So looks like they're going after 7oh but leaving kratom alone for the time being. I'm happy that kratom is out of the spotlight for now, but certainly not happy that so many might lose their new found pain management via 7oh. I've stated before that I don't believe 7oh should be scheduled and I disagree with this action, but I'm relieved that they're leaving kratom out of it. Announcement below.

Ya, that does suck for those who need it. I am good with just plain kratom, but I do like the tabs here and there, I can deep clean my house on half a tab or my wife and I go at it on homesports on the quest.
I read that from AKA email and ordered like 50 just cause. It is horrible for those who use it regularly for pain or whatever, taking away that option is uncool at best.
Selling it at every gas station is what brought it down, I hear people saying they are taking 5 to10+ 20mg tabs a day, and that can't be good.

It's only been recommended. It still has to go to the DEA who will make the final decision. They also will have an open discussion with the public, like they did with kratom in 2016. Nothing is set in stone yet. I don't use 7oh, so I have no opinion either way. Just presenting the facts here before rumors start flying.
