Most of us have taken Tianeptine. Some of us rely on it to function in our social, educational, and professional careers. We know the profound effect it can have on individuals. We would never want it to be banned. I would be mortified if it were banned. I personally do not know what I what do.

Kratom is a similar substance. It hits the mu-opioid receptors. Hundreds of thousands if not millions of people rely on it everyday just like they do on tianeptine. Personally I notice very little difference between these two substances except for the duration of effect. Ceretropics sulphate version is longer.

Please, please find it in your heart to sign this petition. Spread the word that the DEA is planning to ban this substance into the same schedule 1 class of heroin before the end of this month.

I understand your point of view, but including my name on a database that voices direct criticism of the political/power status quo is not the wisest idea. We've seen these type of databases get hacked, and then the supporters being targeted for persecution and harassment. It's the same reason I don't donate to causes using my real credentials or real financial information.

That's also a reasonable fear. It's not like they validate the info, though. You can use a burner email and a pseudonym. That's what I do.

Replying to silverlinin · Does this affect other countries from importing as well? Like Australia? So this means people won't be able to buy it without a prescription?

If the US puts kratom in schedule 1, most of the world is going to follow suit. This is due to United Nations guidelines that we force everyone to adhere to. This action is going to be very bad for everyone, not just the
