Kratom allows me to control extremely high pain levels from CRPS long enough that I can play with my fluffball of a cat Merc, short for Mercenary. He enjoys running around the house with me. Do you have a pet that kratom allows you to play with? Post a pic below of your pet!

How is not written in the Constitution that we as human adults, have the right to use plant-based medicine? The fact that we have to fight this on so many levels is ridiculous. Anything granted by a higher power/universe should be a right to use once you are an adult. #kratom #MI

Kansas Kratom Ban Moving Fast — Help Today In a last-minute move, language for a total kratom ban was inserted into HB 2365 during a Conference Committee. If passed, this bill would criminalize thousands of law-abiding Kansans and eliminate access to natural kratom across the state. 👉 TAKE ACTION NOW:
Go to Protectkratom.org/kansas and contact Kansas legislators immediately; especially the House Speaker— Rep. Dan Hawkins:
Dan.Hawkins@house.ks.gov 785-296-2302 Your message matters. Here’s what to say: Oppose HB 2365 and any blanket ban on kratom Urge lawmakers to regulate, not prohibit Share your personal story about how kratom has impacted your life Ask them to support a Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) framework instead

@andrewlnye @misteaz79 Thank you for letting me know. I haven't had a chance to watch it. Putting together a powder leaf kratom petition so we can circulate.

@WriterMera @misteaz79 Yes there was some good testimony at the beginning. I think the medical testimony will be key though so we need some on our side

@brent_kellogg Yeah I hear you. Marijuana hates me but I defend other adults to use weed however they deem fit for their purposes. I strongly oppose marijuana bans. Govt should never have control of plants that the universe/a higher power granted to us. That should be in the Constitution.

@WriterMera I learned early on that alcohol was not good for me. My parents, who gave me up at age 2, were alcoholics and I spent 3 months with them at age 14. Booze changes my personality and so I quit the stuff at age 18 having been encouraged to drink when I went into the Army at age 17.

WHY is it that we can keep kids away from cigarettes and alcohol with regulation? Yet they are claiming that they can't do the same with kratom? Why can't they create a regulatory framework per KCPA on the federal level to protect plant based medicine ?!

As a writer, I am extremely dissappointed that so many kratom news articles are appearing in the media. They allowed Rep Cavitt to state his false claims even though journalists with integrity would have dug deeper and refused to publish his illogical rhetoric about kratom. #MI

They love running headlines about “gas stations making thousands” like that tells the whole story. What they don’t mention is the small businesses behind this plant. Family companies. The people who actually care about quality. The ones who lab test, educate, answer questions, pack orders, and work hard every single day. They paint this picture like everyone selling it is some big, shady, cash and grab operation getting rich overnight. That’s not reality. Some of us are small business owners trying to do things the right way. Some of us have spent years building trust, helping customers, and advocating for responsible access. Some of us are just regular people supporting our families not giant corporations, not faceless chains, and definitely not the villains these headlines try to create. The media keeps using the gas station angle because it sounds easy and dramatic. But it ignores the real story: small businesses, responsible vendors, and millions of adults who use natural leaf responsibly. Stop lumping everyone together. Stop writing headlines built to scare people. And start telling the truth. #kratom #truth #kratomsaves @Kratomlife420 @TauntonKratom @KratomStory

@VinoNStrosGal Hi Krista-thank you so much for the RT!

@VinoNStrosGal We seriously need legislation on a federal level that offers legal protection for intractable pain patients to have the right to access opioid medication to treat these complex health issues. Where are the Senators to introduce a bill on that??!

1/2 🧵 There is a serious disconnect in the way the powers that be handle pain care in this country. After running into everything so many of us with chronic pain have been dealing with, I think it’s time to say this plainly. What’s happening right now isn’t working. In my state of Florida, and I know it varies, but I’m seeing more and more pain management doctors step away from prescribing full-agonist opioids altogether. Not just high doses. I’m talking about even the lowest therapeutic doses. And when you actually talk to them, they’ll tell you why. They’re afraid. Afraid of liability. Afraid of losing their licenses. Afraid of legal consequences for doing what used to be considered standard care. And that pressure doesn’t stop there. It carries all the way down to the pharmacy level. Patients are being forced to call, drive to, and search for pharmacies willing to fill a legitimate prescription. Prescriptions are run through PDMP systems like E-FORCSE. Pharmacists are increasingly acting as gatekeepers. We’re past the point where this is just an inconvenience. Compliant pain patients trying to access prescribed full-agonist opioid pain medication are, in many cases, being turned away outright despite doing everything right. What we’re seeing now is a system where even doing everything right doesn’t guarantee access. And even when you’re finally standing in front of a pharmacist, you’re expected to account for every entry in your PDMP as if you’re being interrogated. And a lot of that pressure is coming from the top down. Oversight has, in many cases, crossed into overreach, creating an environment where pharmacies and providers are operating out of fear instead of clinical judgment. We’ve even seen that kind of overreach challenged and pushed back on in court. That should tell people something. Because at this point, the issue isn’t just access. It’s the structure of the system itself.

@andrewlnye @misteaz79 Yeah, hard scientific facts prove that kratom does not activate the respiratory depression center. Kratom has it's own natural safeguards which is awesome for a plant. The universe gave us everything we needed with plant-based meds.

@WriterMera @misteaz79 She sounded like a moron. Also said kratom causes respiratory depression which is just false

@SuperSpeciosa This is a SMART, evidence-based policy that follows science and other States like MI @repcavitt should follow. It is smart and protects consumers from using untested, adulterated products. Label, age limits, tested products etc.

⚠️ ARIZONA — ACT NOW HB 2415 = regulation, not a ban Support it 🧵👇

Calling all of KANSAS kratom consumers! STEP up and Make a Call to save millions of kratom consumers!! They MUST Hear from you because our rights to kratom are getting stripped State by State! FIGHT back And TAKE ACTION NOW! Your Voices Matter and Can Make a Difference!!

⚠️ KANSAS — ACT NOW A full ban was added to HB 2365 Vote could happen soon Call NOW👇

@misteaz79 With my strong nursing background, I'm willing to bet we would all DROP DEAD injecting kratom leaf powder in our veins...Omg and smoking it, she needs to be educated. Her years of education are not cutting it for me.

@WriterMera Yup, she said that

🚨🚨🚨URGENT! LET's SAVE kratom in KS!! Take a few minutes and send your kratom testimonial! YOU have the power to save millions of lives across the country. You never know whose life you could save with your story..a mom, a dad, brother, sister etc...

This doctor is saying if you take the opioid, Suboxone/Methadone for addiction, long term, it will worsen your pain tiktok.com/t/ZP8bqh5A5/

@PainPlayhouse The pain in Complex Regional Pain Syndrome is often minimized. This constant pain feels like they are pouring acidic fire into every nerve in the area that is affected. The torturous pain goes deep into the bones, muscles as well. Like a butcher knife carving pieces out of you.

Chronic pain of any sort, I have suffered since 1991, I have no clue what others may feel but try to understand and have empathy for all. Wish the "Norms" would try to do the same, judge not.

@LNseven5 Oh Ellen, we cordially invite you to smoke daily marijuana joints then.

THC ⬆️ risk for heart attacks and stroke 💔

@JohnBurchardt @CMerandi Seriously something to think about John. How they got away with criminalizing medicine and throwing compassionate physicians in prison while patients beg for pain relief is bewildering...all while the pills they need to manage torturous pain sit on a shelf...

@WriterMera @CMerandi Pg2 If you can't produce a letter for the Dr. call 911. When the PD shows up, demand a full report - explain how the Dr. is knowingly & willingly trying to kill you unless you volunteer to be a guinea pig for a non-FDA procedure or as an off-label RX lab rat!

Suboxone is the hardest opioid to physically withdraw from Doctors are passing this highly addictive opioid out like candy There is a generation hooked on the opioid, Suboxone
