@robbeiswenger @MatthewGrogan That’s like saying a Cheeto is a stick of cheese! NOT!!! This chemical soup is NOT kratom.

@OleMissRebel90 @Pengas_Khan Really? This is super offensive. I’m just a regular mom and grandma with severe chronic facial nerve pain. I’m very functional and I genuinely care for others. Especially those who are in pain. Don’t judge. Chronic pain could hit you!

@AGCHanaway @JennTheWinn Thank you for not calling these substances kratom. The misinformation has been spread but your post clarifies the risk.

@ChuckGrassley Please stand in front of all of us in desperate pain who use natural leaf to work, take care of our families and function. We are not druggies. We need pain control. Natural leaf provides that. To dismiss the pain community is heartless.

@OxfordPolice The Kratom hysteria that the police and the media have caused is unacceptable. This story should have only been about facts. FACT: this student was abusing drugs. FACT: The product found was synthetic. NOT kratom. FACT: No one knows the COD. Do better. #TRUTH

@seancbs6 Thank you for telling both sides of this issue. There is incredible confusion around natural leaf and synthetics. K Sabat needs to visit with the top kratom scientists to get his facts straight. Kratom shouldn’t even be in the same sentence as 7OH.

Yes indeed! Great job ND! You listened to logic. Not emotion.

North Dakota did their homework. On Sept 4 they signed HB 1628, drawing a clear line between natural kratom and synthetics. Natural is now 21+, honest labeling, licensed retailers. I don't agree with all of it, but reasonable rules beat bans every time. #KeepKratomLegal

@OGKratomQueen This has happened to a degree in Utah. Powder is legal yet the only place you can buy it is at specialized tobacco stores. You can’t order online. Ridiculous.

For some people, the fight over kratom isn't about defending a plant. It's about defending the life they're still able to live. I wrote about my own experience with Meige syndrome, chronic pain, disability, veterans, and why regulation makes more sense than simply taking access away. When something helps make the difference between participating in your life and merely enduring it, losing access feels very different. My latest on Medium: medium.com/@andrewturner_…

@randy_westlund Follow the DEA. Ban all synthetics. Keep natural leaf legal and regulated. Lives depend on it. People in pain drink this tea for relief. It’s next to impossible to get prescribed pain meds. We need options! We cannot wish away our pain.

@randy_westlund (2/2) Natural leaf kratom completely restored my quality of life due to the pain control it gives me. All without any high or altered feeling. It’s not propaganda! It’s pure pain relief. Keep natural leaf legal & regulated.

@randy_westlund (1/2) In my opinion both medical cannabis and natural leaf kratom should be legal and accessible. Everyone’s system is very different. Cannabis did not help my facial pain at all but it does help many with my condition. I hated the high it gave me too.

@IAGovernor @IowaDPS @IowaHHS Try living with Trigeminal Neuralgia and being told you can’t get pain meds. Your statement is cruel and dismissive of all the pain patients that live in your state. I know several who rely on natural leaf as their ONLY source of pain control.
