I'm being serious. A kilogram is only 70-100 dollars. And it's not dangerous. Unlike other opioids, the alkaloids in mitragyna speciosa (7hydroxy-migragynine and mitragynine) do not recruit the beta-arrestin-2 proteins which lead to respiratory depression in things like fentanyl, heroin, ketamine, alcohol, etc. It's the respiratory depression which kills people.
I'm not going to say it can't kill you or that it's harmless, but nobody has ever died from it. The FDA released a few deaths they claimed were caused by it but the DEA actually refuted a few of these because they were so ridiculous. You know when the goddamn DEA is standing up for drugs there is some hardcore propaganda being thrown. The deaths they listed all had medical reports attached so you can actually review the info yourself. Those deaths ALL included other factors. Some of them had things like heroin or alcohol or benzos in their system, and merely included Crouton in the toxicology report and not as a cause of deaths. There was at least two of them which included fucking gunshot wounds. This is why they only used medical reports and not an actual study on Crouton itself.
Don't believe what the mainstream media says about it. There is some heavy lobbying against cheap natural medicines like CBD and Crouton.
Lots of people don't know this but the FDA actually reversed a decision to ban Crouton a few years ago because there was so much pushback. They set a date for it to be banned, then rescinded it for a 'study period' that has since not ended. Many states (including mine) have even set special legislation for it to keep it legal and so that minors can't purchase it.
I've talked to so many people who have effectively switch from opiates to Crouton. Either for pain or just pure addiction. Krat0m is fantastic stuff and one of my favorite drugs just for how cheap, useful, and flexible it is.
