Blackfeet officials said the move, an apparent first among tribal governments in Montana, is intended to prevent the proliferation of potentially addictive products that can have opioid-like effects.

There will always be #drugs as the federal government in the #usa is so slow to react to new problems.

When they update the #laws of a substance, another one creeps in until it is such a problem it has to be solved.

Take #kratom and #GabAPentin.

Drug addicts have known you could abuse those for ages yet it's only now making headlines. Another will show up after those are scheduled.

It's evidence you can't solve it with brute force. It's a wider problem with #society.

#Kratom is pain relief for some but risk of addiction or worse for others.

A new law in Colorado, named for a young man who died after using it, aims to prevent more tragedies.

Weer iets waar je beter niet aan kunt beginnen: hoef je er ook niet mee te stoppen.

En als je denkt: “Is dat dan ook buiten de VS te krijgen?”, dan leert een korte zoekopdracht met “7-OH vapen” dat het volgende drugsprobleem al ruim beschikbaar is. Ook in andere toedieningsvormen als gummies, tabletten of spray.

De overheid hobbelt weer achter de drugspraktijk aan qua wetgeving.

The #kratom news has me thinking about, and looking into the #legalhigh industry as a whole, and while it's SUPER SCUMMY on it's own, it's mainly three types of people who get involved:

1. Kids who can't buy #marijuana or #alcohol who want to try substances, or God forbid already have a problem.

2. People is places where weed is illegal.

3. People addicted to illicit #drugs who can't get their preferred fix or weed.

You could fix a lot of this by legalizing weed.

#commonsense should be renamed.

The reason #kratom is in the #news is for SUCH A DUMB reason.

There are these shots that look like 5 Hour Energy called Feel Good, which is a #legalhigh you can get at gas stations or smoke shops which people were SHOCKED by how addicted they got.

Kratom is a primary ingredient.

My common sense told me that anything that gets you high from a gas station is #addictive. I guess most people missed the memo and some critical thinking skills.
