Another great post, Kush. I'd love to say that this is un-fucking-believable, but it isn't. Kratom has been illegal in Indiana, where I live, for a little while now. I personally have no experience with the drug personally, but I know that plenty of people have found great relief in its usage. What plagues the the most about this is the fact that the DEA, a regulatory agency, makes unilateral decisions to make a product "illegal." Sure, they "derive their power" from legislation, and the pro-government types would say that they are clarifying an act of Congress. It is for this reason that I believe less and less in government everyday. Why are our elected "representatives" allowing the enforcement branch of government make rules? The Constitution is only worth as much as the parchment on which it is printed.
