Sometimes I wish it were illegal, not because I don't think it has value, but simply because it would keep stupid people from taking it like it has no repercussions. It is nearly the most addictive life-changing legal drug I can think of, second to alcohol which is at least something people are a little bit educated on (most sane people know not to get drunk at work or they will get fired).
Most people know not to get drunk at work because alcohol is so harsh in effects that it renders you unable to work or socialize like normal, that's why you get fired.
Sure you can talk about kratom being addictive but guys a quick google search tells you this:
Excessive alcohol use led to approximately 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost (YPLL) each year in the United States from 2006 – 2010, shortening the lives of those who died by an average of 30 years.Jan 3, 2018
Now, how the hell are you going to justify making kratom illegal, a plant that does not kill or impair you from working or living your life? It has medical use, I have yet to see anybody or any hospital in the Western world who still treats their patients with booze.
There are so many more people struggling with alcohol abuse than anyone would ever struggle with kratom.
Like it's all retarded in perspective and that's the problem, people lack neutral perspective looking at this thing.
