Big Tobacco had Joe Camel. Big Kratom has blue raspberry. Same playbook, new product. Lab-made 7-OH Kratom opioids, sold in candy flavors at gas stations. Write Congress in under a minute: KratomWatch.org #BigKratom #KratomWatch #UnitedAF

"Paul, why kratom." Me: "Same receptors. Same playbook. Same receptors. For a lot of kids this will be first opioid they're offered and it comes from a store, not a dealer." "Oh." @FDA @DEAHQ @Public_Citizen @UAFentanyl KratomWatch.org

Thank you for your comment, and we are so sorry about your loss. Our goal is not to only protect minor children, and yet we are compelled to focus on there because too many of them have access to create opioids because of adults not caring.

They are selling (kratom) opioids in the same place they’re selling beef jerky and Gatorade. We aren’t making it up—it’s what the @FDA and @DEAHQ are saying. @Public_Citizen @UAFentanyl

Traditional kratom leaf and products containing concentrated 7-OH can differ significantly. Know what you’re buying. @UAFentanyl 🔗 kratomwatch.org We’re not against the kratom leaf. We’re against lab-made opioids sold under its name.

Some are arguing with us claiming they follow the science. The FDA warns that concentrated 7-OH, a kratom opioid, could be the next wave of the opioid epidemic. That's not us, that's the @FDA. We need to get KRATOM OPIOIDS out of stores. KratomWatch.org

I trust the moms who lost kids to Kratom, not the “philosophers” bending themselves into pretzels trying to defend big Kratom.

Frankly, it’s not about the adults, but it’s about protecting our children from Kratom opioids. @kratomwatch @UAFentanyl @Public_Citizen KratomWatch.org

They lost a child to fentanyl, an opioid. They care and understand more than anyone the reality of having an addicted teen or young adult. Kratom opioids are…opioids.

Read our website. We do not call on a ban on the leaf. Read.

People are dying from kratom opioids. They are filling are rehabs wanting to be free just like with heroin or fentanyl. These facts can't be disputed. We are not against the leaf, just the kratom opioids.

Today we (@UAFentanyl) launch @KratomWatch to keep kratom opioids out of our stores and away from our children. Be warned, Big Kratom, the parents who lost loved ones to fentanyl will not stand it. Website: KratomWatch.org einpresswire.com/article/955…

As we’re in the middle of the biggest opioid crisis in the history of our nation, with tens of thousands dying from illicit fentanyl, the last thing we need is a legal opioid that our kids could buy next to the beef jerky. #kratomwatch

Tobacco sold an addictive drug as a lifestyle and spent decades insisting it was harmless. The kratom industry makes an opioid in a lab and sells it as a plant.

The battlefield is changing. Cartels, including some designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, are increasingly using explosive drones against law enforcement and civilians. Strong work by Colombia’s security forces denying the ELN these capabilities. @DEAHQ will continue standing with our partners @PoliciaColombia @mindefensa @FiscaliaCol to disrupt the threat, deny the technology, and confront narcoterrorism. #Colombia #ELN #Narcoterrorism #CounterNarcotics #LawEnforcement #Security #Partnerships
El ELN se queda sin un dron y una cámara de alta tecnología gracias a la acción de la Fuerza Pública en Risaralda. Los dispositivos, avaluados en más de $76 millones, fueron incautados cuando eran trasladados desde Bello, Antioquia, hacia Cartago, Valle del Cauca. Según información de inteligencia, estos elementos estarían destinados al Frente de Guerra Occidental para apoyar labores de vigilancia y acciones delictivas en Valle del Cauca y Chocó. La operación afecta su capacidad logística e impide que estos recursos sean utilizados en contra de la población. En la Patria Milagro seguimos cerrándole el paso a las estructuras criminales y a los recursos que pretenden utilizar para atentar contra los colombianos.

Insane week leading a campaign bringing hundreds to DC from nearly 40 states to Capitol Hill and for @walkforlives The families of Hayden Panettiere and Presley Gerber deserve every ounce of sympathy they receive. But there is something about the attention that troubles me. Approximately five hundred thousand Americans have been poisoned in the last decade by fentanyl. That means one million parents grieve the loss of their child. Add siblings and grandparents, it’s over five million. Most of their names never made a headline. unitedagainstfentanyl.org/ne…
