@Kpascuch @JMay1771 @Heaven807436108 The ship has sailed, it's not coming out of select stores. It's just not feasible and people have been screaming this since OPMS "fake" capsules in Alabama.

@JMay1771 @Heaven807436108 Yup. The more widely available it is in retail, the better shot they have of winning money. #KeepKratomLegal but take it out of gas stations and Convenience stores. They would lose their biggest tagline. Gas station H. Online sales with ID uploads. That's exactly how my guy works

But this isn't Mister Roger's neighborhood, I suppose 💔

@KratomKills Guess not.

@KratomKills Care to elaborate?

The industry narrative is collapsing. Ohio’s kratom scheduling changes officially took effect on 5/19, scheduling virtually all kratom products except raw vegetative leaf — and a separate rule to schedule kratom in its natural vegetative state is still advancing. In Montana, lawmakers held a hearing today on a proposed kratom regulatory approach — but after hearing testimony, the conversation shifted so dramatically that a motion to move forward with drafting a ban bill was introduced and approved. Hanover, Massachusetts banned all kratom sales today. Sterling Heights, Michigan banned all kratom sales today. It’s only Tuesday…. For years the industry told everyone “regulation solves everything.” But lawmakers and local officials are finally realizing the core problem isn’t labels, packaging, or age gates — it’s the pharmacology. You cannot market a substance as strong enough to replace morphine, heroin, or fentanyl and simultaneously pretend it belongs next to energy drinks and supplements. This week alone showed something important: the conversation is changing rapidly. Public officials are no longer blindly accepting the “natural = safe” sales pitch. Science and reality are catching up to the propaganda.

@thekratomcowboy Mostly agree 95% but the kratom / natural extract suppliers can't pretend companies like OPMS came out of the gate with pure intentions. 7/oh likes to think they disrupted an industry but the fact is they are continuing to kill it.

Watching states crack down on kratom while pretending the synthetic 7-OH industry had nothing to do with it is one of the most dishonest narratives in this entire space. Natural kratom leaf existed in the U.S. market for decades under the existing DSHEA and FD&C Act framework. Then a new wave of companies showed up bypassing virtually every safeguard the dietary supplement industry is supposed to follow — selling ultra-concentrated, chemically manipulated alkaloid products in gas stations, wrapped in candy branding, cartoon packaging, and “legal high” marketing tactics. And now suddenly regulators, legislators, poison centers, and the media are paying attention? Of course they are. The synthetic 7-OH crowd didn’t “save kratom.” They handed prohibitionists the ammunition they’ve wanted for years. You cannot spend years pushing highly concentrated psychoactive products with reckless dosing, zero long-term safety data, questionable manufacturing practices, no meaningful NDIN pathway, and marketing that looks indistinguishable from vape-shop narcotic culture — then act shocked when lawmakers start scrutinizing the entire category. What’s even more insulting is the PR pivot happening now: The same people who spent years separating themselves from traditional kratom are suddenly screaming “save the whole plant” because they know their business model collapses the second regulators start distinguishing natural kratom from synthetic alkaloid products. This isn’t consumer advocacy. It’s narrative control. The compliant side of the industry has been operating under 21 CFR Part 111, food safety plans, identity testing, traceability, adverse event procedures, GMPs, and DSHEA positioning while warning for YEARS that the synthetic alkaloid gold rush would trigger backlash against everyone. And that warning was correct. Consumers deserve access to natural kratom products manufactured responsibly by legitimate companies — not a chemically amplified arms race masquerading as “plant medicine” while being sold next to energy shots and nicotine vapes at gas stations. The extra scrutiny didn’t come from nowhere. It came from an industry segment that ignored every lesson the supplement industry learned over the last 30 years and thought short-term cash grabs were more important than long-term survivability. Now the rest of the kratom industry is paying the price for their recklessness.

@Maximus163 @miguelito808 We also live in a time where you cannot just direct your kid to grab a lemonade from the cooler with checking for alcohol or THC. It all needs to be better.

@Maximus163 @miguelito808 Directly on the label it says "may become habitat forming" . I'm not a fan of FF but they are not doing it wrong from a labeling aspect ... Well at least anymore after a lawsuit. There marketing approach is direct to a specific crowd through.

MarkWayne Mullins is behind the kids getting addicted to Feel Free, which is now commonly referred to as gas station heroin. He is making sure that the FDA stays away from his investment in the kratom company, Botanic Tonics, which he delayed disclosing he was even invested in. Now they’re also making donations in the millions to RFK Jr to ensure that they stay legal even though kids are becoming addicts because of it. They’re pushing this stuff to college athletes. Mullins appears to be protecting them from DOJ investigations too. ⚖️ The investigation was dropped after they donated millions to MAGA PACs.

@Maximus163 @miguelito808 The lawsuit was to the not listing kratom on the product.

@Maximus163 @miguelito808 It is regulated in some states. It's also in a regulated market that has to adhere to manufacturing standards. That being said it has to be enforced and not confusing.

@miguelito808 @BadCornpop I mean it could be regulated. 🤷

@Heaven807436108 @KratomKills Correct, if anything it's screaming for real meaningful regulation. Not one extreme or the other.

@BadCornpop @KratomKills & backlash often happens right before regulation gets real traction. I don't think the kratom industry is collapsing at all.

@dbongino And you still suck.

Today is May 20, 2026 and Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States of America. And Tom Massie is packing his bags.

@TexasDonna12 @PARepublic @MassieforKY @realDonaldTrump No it happened right when Trump passed the spending bill Biden wrote cause he couldn't wait anymore. It was America last from that moment on he started to break promises after 6 months back in office.

@PARepublic @MassieforKY @realDonaldTrump Massie turned on Trump when he was turned down for the job of Secretary of Agriculture.

Horrible Congressman Thomas Massie put out an old Endorsement, from many years ago, of him by me long before I found out that he was the Worst Congressman in the History of our Country. I endorsed Ed Gallrein, a true American Patriot, which Massie knows full well, so the statement that he put out is fraudulent, just like HE is fraudulent. WITHDRAW YOUR FAKE STATEMENT, MASSIE, RIGHT NOW! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@Ch52471437Wendy You can have compassion for grieving families while still believing policy should be based on full toxicology, evidence, regulation, and adult choice.

Calling bereaved parents ‘grifting mothers’ says far more about the people attacking families than it does about us.

@KratomKills @JMay1771 Can you please use the correct version?

@KratomKills @JMay1771 Sounds like your play book was exposed 😂. Next meeting I'm at I'm going to use this in the complete opposite way.

Don't insult my intelligence by lying to me, trying to say that the Grieving Grifting Mothers lack a script, look what I just found. #kratom #7OH antikratom.org

@JMay1771 Here is the correct version..

@thekratomcowboy @DeanFrancis22 @KratomKills @Lorenzodemed1ci Careful throwing around the "personal responsibility" talk. That's when the angry parent only knows how to project and blame everything else. It's the labels, it's poison, ect. or your just deceitful and a bad person. Deep down they know though..

@DeanFrancis22 @KratomKills @Lorenzodemed1ci What was his reason for getting off of Kratom and then finding 7 hydroxy and trying that? Who do you blame for that? What point does personal accountability enter your worldview? What about his alcohol abuse? Are you going after big alcohol too?

The Ohio Board of Pharmacy is creating one of the most legally contradictory situations I’ve seen in the dietary supplement industry. Natural kratom leaf products are sold nationwide under federal dietary supplement law established by DSHEA and regulated through: • FDCA • DSHEA • 21 CFR Part 111 • 21 CFR Part 117 • 21 CFR 190.6 Yet Ohio regulators are effectively demanding retailers ignore or override federal dietary supplement law through state-level administrative action. So which law are retailers supposed to follow? Federal law? Or politically motivated rulemaking from unelected regulators? Even worse, Ohio’s public guidance has been inconsistent and confusing, causing compliant retailers to pull lawful products entirely while black-market operators continue unaffected. Instead of implementing: • age restrictions • testing standards • contaminant limits • labeling requirements • GMP enforcement …the Board chose regulatory chaos. This is what happens when regulators who do not understand DSHEA attempt to regulate botanical supplements like narcotics. They are not protecting consumers. They are driving compliant operators out of the market while strengthening underground sales. The solution is simple: Target synthetic and chemically manipulated compounds if warranted. But federally regulated natural kratom products manufactured under FDA dietary supplement law are an entirely different category. Ohio regulators know the difference. They chose politics over science and regulatory consistency. pharmacy.ohio.gov/documents/pubs…

@DeanFrancis22 @thekratomcowboy @KratomKills Maybe teach them to read a label Dean?

@thekratomcowboy @KratomKills 💯 As parents, we teach our kids to avoid drug dealers, but neglect to warn them about morally bankrupt people who use the same addiction for profit model in the wellness supplement space.

@KratomKills @thekratomcowboy Jumping to my kid died to deflect a conversation around science isn't sincere. I'm not sure you understand what 3000 NG/ML means. It makes the argument stronger for smart regulations like the KCPA.

@thekratomcowboy None of this word salad makes any sense, per your usual.
