I'd like to try Kratom but it is also illegal in this country and the suppliers will not ship here. All the worry about addiction is ridiculous since even a person habituated to the most powerful pain killer known (and I do not mean codeine) will be up and moving around by the third or fourth day off it, a bit shakily probably.

I did not know that ketamine had such a lasting effect. It will be interesting to watch Oregon and see what effect, if any, legalization will have. I am betting that hard drug use will not increase since whatever you might want was available on the streets of Portland before legalization.

There's a relative with about the same effects, Mitragyna Hirsuta. Not sure if that'd be legal for you. Good luck proving it's not kratom if you get caught with it though.

I don't know about that, there's got to be a % of people who'd buy drugs if they could find them or if they were legal who don't otherwise. I'd probably smoke a lot more weed if it were easier to get.

We'll be getting reports from Oregon soon. If we can believe the reports, drug use in US high schools has been going down in recent years anyway. My prediction is based on the fact that the market is pretty much saturated, in the US anyway, and if you want it—whatever—it's out there and easy to get, especially in high schools. We will see. Ask your doc if a blocking shot is an option in your case. The shot does not go all the way into the middle of the spine where the cerebro-spinal fluid is because that is a somewhat dangerous injection. The expectation of pain is much worse than the actual pain of the needle going in and one shot lasts for two to three years. It still hurts if I walk a long way but I can ride my bicycle with no pain at all.

My niece is in HS and I recently found out she was a pothead. Damn kids have better connections than I do. I think the technology is making it harder for kids to be found out.

We were pretty clever too. I suspect the powers that be want to keep it available to certain populations too.

That's what I've heard; everything is available in high school. Too bad I can't go within a mile of one. That is a weak joke as I have no interest in high school kids.
