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.

"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."

We have no investors. Instead, we speak with hundreds upon hundreds of parents who are desperate to help their children who admittedly are addicted to Kratom opioids. And then there are the few dozen whose children are dead because of it.
None of these anti-kratom activists woke up one day and decided to vilify this plant. They’re being funded by third-party investors and you’ll never know who those investors are.
Right now, they’re generating fear and priming potential jurors for God only knows how many lawsuits against kratom manufacturers.
Addiction nonprofits like Shatterproof and FedUp are also part of this anti-kratom movement.
They all have something to gain from this war on kratom, much like what we witnessed during the manufactured opioid crisis.
This is about lawsuits, pushing kratom consumers toward the highly addictive opioid Suboxone, and finding ways to justify the continued use of opioid settlement funds.
And where is the evidence that pure kratom leaf alone is causing these deaths? Why aren’t we seeing the full toxicology and autopsy reports? What other substances were involved?
Same playbook used in the manufactured opioid epidemic
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.

I might fall out of my chair if one single pro Kratom radical expresses sadness or condolences to the parents of young people whose death certificates say they died solely from Kratom opioids.
But no—they’re going to talk about their own pain instead.
Traditional kratom leaf and products containing concentrated 7-OH can differ significantly.
Know what you’re buying. @UAFentanyl

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.

All those seemingly obsessed because I’m talking about the dangers of Kratom Opioids. Ready for them to tell me this text message from yesterday isn’t real.
The video interviews are being set and you will hear the harrowing details from the mothers.
@kratomwatch @UAFentanyl
Parents, here’s a question for you.
Does your teen know what 7-OH is?
Many adults don’t even know.
One conversation about the risks of concentrated kratom-derived products could help a young person recognize something they didn’t know was dangerous.

Here’s something worth knowing.
Concentrated 7-OH can cause opioid-like intoxication, dependence, withdrawal, and dangerous breathing problems.
This isn’t about spreading panic. It’s about making sure young consumers know what they’re buying

Poison ivy is natural too.
The word “natural” isn’t a safety certification and concentrated 7-OH products aren’t the same as traditional kratom leaf.
Know the difference. Know the risks.

Thank you @BowTiedBroke for sharing.
A friend of mine seems to be full on addicted to something he buys at a gas station. Drives to NC every couple of weeks to stock up on this stuff called 7-OH or whatever it is. Hurt his back in his 40’s, pain got a little worse as he aged, heard about this stuff, tried it, now acts like a dope fiend if he runs out. Nice guy, business man, family and all that stuff. But he is natural born HOOKED. Tried to tell him “Man, you may want to get some help”. He said “I know, I know, it’s just the only thing that helps with my back”. I’ve seen that Kratom stuff in gas stations before, but the display cases are so huge with these packages I never really paid attention to all the varieties, but apparently this is the “bad news” one.

I trust the moms who lost kids to Kratom, not the “philosophers” bending themselves into pretzels trying to defend big Kratom.
You need an ID to buy a beer.
But what about a gas station gummy containing concentrated 7-OH, a potent opioid compound?
What’s protecting young consumers?

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

A kratom opioid is still an opioid. Regular use can lead to opioid use disorder, the same disease that heroin and fentanyl cause.

California legalized cannabis with a promise of safer, cleaner weed. But Times testing found pesticides in a quarter of 49 products purchased at dispensaries. Why are potentially harmful chemicals still getting through?

As founder of United Against Fentanyl, I launched @kratomwatch this week. Because I've spent years listening to moms who lost children to fentanyl. Now the ones who lost children to kratom are calling.
We need to stop the recreational use of ALL opioids. It's killing a generation.
