Such utter nonsense, this doesn’t save lives it’s political theater. Prohibition kills, every single time. There are no exceptions.

AOC: Schedule I drugs are supposed to have no potential for medical use and a high risk for abuse and addiction. What are some examples of Schedule I drugs? Dasgupta: Cannabis, LSD, ecstasy.

Per Dr. Oliver Grundmann, who I had the opportunity to meet and watch his presentation at the Kratom Symposium in February 2026… “Just published today: because of more concentrated #kratom products, concentrates, and semi-synthetic products like #7hydroxymitragynine on the market, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has published a new analysis of National Poison Data System reports on kratom. It highlights the increasing number of toxicity cases associated with kratom and is very likely driven by products marketed and sold as "kratom" but rather being completely different in their composition from kratom leaf which contains at most 2% #mitragynine and up to 5% total alkaloids. The article concludes: "As FDA moves to regulate 7-hydroxymitragynine but not whole-leaf kratom products, surveillance should distinguish product types to assess risks." This is essential to #publichealth and ensuring that kratom users have access to native leaf material in a safe manner with appropriate labeling and serving sizes.
