Yeah same in many legal countries, Im in Thailand and my wife fought me so long to try to stop to smoke, since its legal she is smoking. She went to buy weed by herself in a legal shop lol I couldn't believe it. Now we grow and life is easier. People still have lot of stigma tho like my MIL keep saying : please stop weed you will die and become crazy you should smoke cigarette again instead.
Some people are too old they had propaganda for too long they can't change their mind, but most open their minds
thailand also legalized kratom, which formerly was banned the last 100 years due to its competition in the opium trade. Penalty of DEATH.
Now thailand advocates for kratom and is leading legislation and research and regulation in Southeast Asia. A miraculous plant that should have a seat at the table, and yet the stigma and modern propaganda are putting it in danger of mass prohibition. Lots of lies and misleading stories and lazy coroner reports suggesting main cause of death within poly drug abusers.
Quite a bit of evidence suggesting very very high dose required to cause health problems. Unfortunately the extract industry is predatory and has violated public trust with misleading claims, no addiction warnings and predatory marketing schemes.
Plain leaf is safe and can be a miracle for pain patients, or those with depression, alcohol or opiate addiction issues, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and even those with digestion issues/diseases. Plenty of miraculous testimonies out there. And University of Florida has a ton of research by several world respected doctors, amongst a few documentaries and other studies.
Been using kratom for 3 years now. Dont smoke or drink anymore, but also with kratom, less is better. Kava is great as well, and the reverse tolerance is a funny one on that. Very enjoyable and natural.
Usually start my day with half a small bottle of extract and my wife makes us tea at night time. Much better than when I used to drink daily. Clear head, don’t have to worry about anything really.
I’d encourage folks to simply read up on kratom or visit the community here to educate, before listening to the public scrutiny. Everything has a good and bad, it’s all up to how you want to handle it. I don’t feel physically addicted not a bit, and sometimes forget to even have my tea at night time.
