iIf a naturally occurring plant has any type of medicinal qualities it will always be heavily regulated/scheduled/banned because you cannot patent a plant that just occurs in nature, thus there is no true profit to be made by big pharma, better to just outlaw it.

I wonder if growing the plant domestically is an option? Probably requires warmth and moisture, but i doubt the DEA will kick your door down if you happened to have a few kratom plants in your greenhouse...OK, somebody send me some seeds, I’ll get started...

”instead of actual medicine” ?!? And what clinical trials or scientific studies have you done on it? Right, fucking none. Just another skeptic lobbing stones and offering no tangible help to anyone.

You should do an article about the sordid state of affairs that is pharma’s stance on Iboga, and specifically, the patent war surrounding noribogaine.

This is something that cures opiate withdrawals with a single dose in 24 hours. Yes, really.

My husband calls it Syphilis.

I am okay with the name change even though it’s a stupid name, because it makes sense they wanted something they could trademark.

Meh, I guess once you get past the self love of them yes.
