When pharmaceutical industry is not financially involved you can be certain that there will be a "lack of evidence". After all, "evidence" costs a lot of money to produce. Ask someone whom it works for or doesn't. If I waited for some "authority" to say it's okay for me to use- whatever- to treat myself, then I would be in a sad condition today, minus an organ or two, thanks to prescribed "treatment" from medical doctors who told me it was the only "known" solution for my former case of I.T.P. which I won't get into in order to abbreviate. Instead of a spleenectomy which may not have been effective and probable continued use of prednisone (harmful steroid & immune suppressor), I insisted on "my way" first which was as simple as a bottle of fresh flax seed oil. Granted, I research comparing many sources and I won't get talked out of something because conservative views downplay potential. Full remission never to return. One of MANY examples. I've used cannabis for nausea and it usually works. It is difficult to find and often very expensive to get high CDB, low or no THC strains and I usually regret getting what is easily available because I can't stand being "stoned" any more. The right strain such as one branded "reefer" did ease depression without anxiety but continued use brought on the familiar head "haze". Pot should be available but I don't like it. For special cases- the right strain and pure oils are typically the way to go, such as in children. Do it right. Usually worsens my depression and social anxiety. I gave up on available "solutions" for depression until I discovered kratom. First try I felt it but didn't seem like it would help. I didn't give it the chance it (I) deserved. When my back injury flared back up causing excruciating pain that locked me to my bed- (codien just knocked me out so how productive is that?) I remembered I had kratom in the cupboard. Unbelievable- so effective at reducing inflammation that the nerve that was compressed was relieved. With a cup of coffee after (makes a difference- no bs) I realized that I found the solution to occasional crippling nerve compression (which otherwise takes weeks to subside), depression and a lifetime of alternating social problems. Within 45 minutes of drinking this powder in water prior to coffee, I was out the door and walking uphill to buy groceries. This is the 1st autumn I have been "ok" and actually enjoy at times in the past 8 years or so. Naturally, the FDA is rushing to put this gentle yet effective tree leaf on schedule 1 narcotics. The DEA claims "no known medical use". Millions know that it works but people are the target of a war on drugs. People don't like that heroin addicts that are motivated to break free can use this to come off without dreadful withdrawal symptoms. "It must me dangerous" People take 3+ X the normal dose (stupid) and the worst result is they build a rapid tolerance. Nobody stops breathing. You won't find anyone nodding out in the street on kratom. Nobody is wasted stoned. There's a ton of propaganda via google pushing to ban this and millions crying foul. It's illegal in some US states because of fear and ignorance. The ban is on hold pending further review. The American Kratom Association if fighting the legal battle to keep kratom accessable and to be researched. Questions about kratom use, I'll be happy to answer based on first hand experience. Keep botanicals legal and be informed before taking action (common sense). Some will try to abuse anything. Don't let that take away our ability to solve problems and major hardships.
