Kratom Ban Bill Opposed by Standing-Room-Only Crowd at NH State House – Full Video

A standing-room-only crowd showed up to the NH state house on Tuesday to testify against a bill that would ban Kratom, SM758, only to discover that at the senator who submitted the bill changed it at the last minute into a bill that would instead regulate Kratom. It was a sneaky move on the senator’s part, as it flipped the energy in the room. Most of the average folks who’d taken time off to come out and speak against the potential prohibition of Kratom were then relieved that it was now a regulatory bill, without understanding that regulations are also bad for freedom and will hurt the industry.

Luckily, NH 2020 candidate for governor, “Nobody” and I were both there to testify against both the prohibition and regulation concepts. Here’s the full hearing video:

If you’re not familiar, Kratom is a plant in the coffee family that has helped people break additions to opiates and has helped others with pain relief, while for others it helps them with productivity.

It does sound like another huge mess of a subject -- even if it's actually helping people

And that has got to STOP according to NH politicians, or become heavily taxed and restricted. Uruguay's supposed breakthru law on pot is denounced by the citizens.

The big question, isn't it?

Everything usually has some side effects....

One Rule of Thumb: If gummint is trying to ban it, it MUST be beneficial.

I know it has helped a lot of people. My nephew uses it and it helps him. Having said that, I tried it one time and thought I was going to die. To be fair I took it on an empty stomach so that may have been the wrong thing to do. I only took three capsules of it and saved the rest of them for my nephew.

No negative side effects whatever for us. Go their website and check the customer reviews and how they personally benefit.

I wait 'till a 20-30% off sale rolls around and stock up.

Should we all be using it, eg for a morning picker-upper? (Not in the Bounty™ sense ;)

I don't know. The supplement links I post are for educational and entertainment purposes only. Consult your health care advisor for further recommendations. YMMV

Be well, stay well, trust and use God-given products, not BigPharma products.

More like calming/leveling than euphoric or high. Peaceful and well.

I just checked and there's 15% off a sampler pack of three; my suggestion is one each, white, green, and red. White and green for morning and red for evening.

Thank you for your testimony on usage and its efficacy...It's valuable.

Whoa.

Also worthy info. Yeah, there are even many vitamins that must be taken ONLY with food. OR ELSE.

When I first started, the purkratom bottle recommended a serving of 4 caps; the last bottles that came in dropped the serving to 2-3. I've never taken more than two at a time.

HA!

Doritos contains Monosodium Glutamate. But when we're snacking on them, is "health" our major concern? Meh.

But...but...What about the Endorphin release? ;-)

Lod, does it act more as a muscle relaxer? Or just help stop overactive nerve endings from interpreting "pain"? Does it affect mental acuity or alertness? Does it help focus? Is there any "hang-over" effect?

Any anecdotal negative or concerning short-term or long term side effects?

Thanks...

Seriously. Mark my words, science is someday going to discover that the pleasure some foods give actually outweighs their bad ingredients.

I don't worry much about MSG -- it occurs naturally. Just avoid the extreme selections that make my heart race etc ;)

I agree! Totally.

That's why this obsession with food sensory deprivation in the name of "Calories!" or "Health!" is bad for bright moods :-)

Who doesn't get all excited at the prospect of ripping open a bag of Doritos? A Ring-Ding? A Coffee Cake Jr.?

I don't worry much about MSG -- it occurs naturally. Just avoid the extreme selections that make my heart race etc ;)

Right. Every thing in moderation and we should be fine. Unless we're gasping for air in the back of an ambulance after one too many tasty MSG-saturated egg rolls ;-)

food sensory deprivation

ROFL, that's apt! I'm partial to the 'cool ranch' variety -- blue bag -- but what makes it 'cool' I'm still not getting, since ranch is not normally a hot or peppery flavor. Mebbe it is in Mehico.

Speaking of witch, I'm mad about the 'chipotle ranch' goo they offer at Moe's Southwest grill and even some oriental restaurants. It makes no logical sense in the latter context, but boy is it good to throw on once your Chinese entree is about 2/3 gone!

I think the 'Japanese' restaurants proliferating in the last decade or so are all really 'Chinese'.

For me, a couple greens in the morning both calm and focus; at night two reds are part of the better sleep regimen which also include 10mg melatonin, 500mg L-tryptophan, and about 25mg cbd oil.

Both kratoms give me general pain relief, as does the cbd oil. I take no prescription meds.

Nephew said he was getting a tincture of the stuff and maybe I will try that. But not on an empty stomach. I learned my lesson (assuming that is what caused the issue I had with it--honestly there have only been a couple of times that I can remember that I felt that bad).

Please check out the source of nephew's kratom most thoroughly.

I don't know what you ingested in the past, but I'll tell you that I've never, ever, had any adverse reaction whatever to purkratom.com .

Remain well, Jim

And the greens in the AM don't bog you down for the rest of the day? Is energy level adversely affected at all? Any grogginess in the morning?

I may give it a shot based on your personal experience. Thanks for it and sharing your protocol and overall experience with respect to pain.

In the evening like you I also take 10mg of melatonin (sublingual), occasionally 500mg L-tryptophan (creates vivid dreams), and 200mg L-Theanine. I also take a newer (but more expensive) form of Magnesium that is easier on the stomach AND passes the brain-blood barrier (L-Threonate). It serves as a muscle relaxant and is involved in learning/memory.

I've tried CBD oil at about 20mg. I didn't seem to gain any traction with it. Maybe my dosage needs to be raised.

Yeah, many pills and potions may be a bit volatile that they will require food in the stomach as 'padding'. Or else you get cramps or nausea. Sounds as if this was the case with your experience. Please let us know how the tincture works out...

On the otherhand, some of these pills and potions work better on empty stomachs. Sometimes the labels aren't clear -- that's a problem. I refer to user experience at Amazon and elsewhere for anecdotal guidance.

Hi Liberator. Have yet to try any of the tincture since my nephew doesn't get by here very often.

When we worked the concerts in Chicago there was a Sushi bar around the corner from the Vic Theater. I would pick up some Sushi for dinner. The Wasabi sauce would burn your gizzard out. ;)
