Last year, the New Hampshire legislature passed a bill banning the sale of kratom to minors. Rodler showed up to testify and was surprised to see dozens of people in Goddard’s case who used kratom for pain.

Especially given the state’s heroin crisis, she says she sympathizes with people looking for pain management options that don’t involve opioids.“

Those who are trying to do a safer, legal alternative to opiate medication, this was a great substitute,” she said. “Maybe schedule I is too harsh.”

As Kratom ban looms, New Hampshire users push back

Yah, think? You soulless fucking nanny-state hack. Do you think making more people criminals and the tying up of scarce state resources on something that is basically no worse than an energy drink is too harsh?

You think the DEA is being interested in putting people in jail than keeping the public safe is a problem?

No shit, Sherlock?

Trust assholes like the ones who passed the NH bill to make things worse in a cruel and dehumanizing way and act holier than thou like they are fucking saints for doing so.

Assholes!
