It was good! I don't mind paying $5 to Amazon to watch it because I hope Chris Bell is getting bit of a royalty from that.

The only thing I did not like about it was it gave the impression that kratom was only available in smokeshops and kava bars and that Urban Ice was the only vendor worth buying. And he (the Urban Ice guy) referred to the Reddit vendors as 'dirtbags all trying to sell the cheapest leaf', which pissed me right off. I left a review at Amazon trying to let people know differently. And that even if vendors could no longer be discussed on Reddit, there were other resources available if they Googled around a bit.

How ignorant... I had never even heard of this Urban Ice until I looked it up just now. It seems like an overpriced, online head shop. Not impressed. It's sad that they're promoting such a thing. I guess nothing is perfect huh?

If that quote is really in the film then it sounds more like a commercial than a documentary.

Just finished watching it, and for the most part it was pretty good. Educational for those in the dark, good interviews from bell as always - specifically with medical "experts" which is good for us.

aside from his partnership with the urban ice idiot i have no problem with this film. Unfortunate how they bash the online vendors and reddit. Good kratom doesn't have to be expensive

And he (the Urban Ice guy) referred to the Reddit vendors as...

sure seems like there's a LOT goin' on behind the scenes .. with the movie, the AKA, and the vendors

I got some back story, from a very well connected person. UIO and some Retail vendors happen to be some of the AKA's biggest contributors $ and have made millions $ off Headshop Kratom the past 3+ years. So now they bankroll this Infomercial to promote their GMP safe Walmart product - while still selling 60-gram jars of Premium Bali in smoke-shops for $40 - yes that's 60g / $40 taking advantage of ppl, but hey, its the Age of Trump so ripoffs are fine right? Anything goes and money talks. Money is speech

Yes a LOT goin' on.. Who were the 30 or so vendors invited to attend the so-called Kratom Leadership Summit recently, is the AKA now picking and choosing, "winners and losers" among the 300+ online vendors currently operating? I suspect Herbal RVA wasn't invited. Just a guess?

This week Dave Herman AKA comes out with a Statement: "Our biggest enemy are irresponsible vendors" -- See where this is going, gosh it sure seems like UIO and the big-money Retail folks who've bankrolled AKA, can't rip people for 20 an ounce, anymore, when the Reddit word gets around that ounces are going for 5 bucks ....

Oh and let's not forget AKA has estimated a Million people are now using kratom. So what does that say, about the phoney FDA Salmonella Scare that found a handful of people (out of millions) who had any problem ... But hey vendors are the #1 Enemy, not the FDA. Remember that! Good grief.
