One watchdog is now questioning how the ban materialized. In a letter published Thursday, the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness, a for-profit think tank that has been a persistent thorn in the side of government regulators, asked the DEA for a copy of the administrator’s correspondence with the Department of Health and Human Services. The DEA says it informed HHS of its plan to ban kratom in May, and that the assistant secretary of HHS didn’t object.

The DEA is acting like the authoritarian dictator. We are a democracy, and we the people need to have an input on any proposed ban. Is this country a democracy? If it is, we must listen to the many citizens that Kratom has helped, even life saving for some with chronic pain. It seems that the big pharmacies are influencing this proposed ban. Kratom is safe. I have benefitted from kratom for many years, and I can not accept the ban.
So it seems we have made history, right before our eyes…the truth you see forever, laying waste to all the lies
Thank you to any and all who have helped defeat the permanent ban, a gift from the DEA apparently. I think they are beginning to see the war on drugs is over. Peace
