Reality Check: FDA's Disinformation Campaign on Kratom

in #benswann7 years ago


The opioid crisis is killing tens of thousands of Americans each year. So why would the FDA crack down on a substance that may be helping millions of addicts get off drugs like heroin and oxycontin? This is a Reality Check you won't get anywhere else.

So cool to see an ex-mainstream corporate media jump on the crypto train!

Ben Swann is paid by DASH atm. So a Distributed Autonomous Organisation is funding him to keep spreading truth. So god damn cool....

Not to mention he is earning STEEM and putting his content on censorproof databases.

HOW IS THIS NOT THE FUTURE hahaha

@cob your right man lol

Is this actually Ben Swann? Because I spoke with Ben Swann the other day about joining Steemit. Wanting to confirm this is real.

Hi Ben! DTube and Steemit share the same blockchain. Since posts, comments, votes, follows, and re-steems all go on the blockchain, the sites share the same content. I just realized from your Anarchapulco interviews, you did not know this yet.. There are other sites that specialize in one thing or another that share content with steemit too.

Need more help James, if possible. Things have gotten more controversial. I believe that my highlighting this is incredibly important for the Steemit community and it can be remedied with more support from top tier Steemit developers and lesders. Kind regards. https://steemit.com/censorship/@clarityofsignal/steemit-developer-sneak-hides-two-highly-revealing-posts-related-to-verifiable-student-actors-involved-in-florida-school

wao, it's really @benswann, really great to have you here man.

I predicted it few weeks ago that "heavy shakers" are getting on steemit and i am glad to see @benswann here

I check your post, its really good so i like your page also join your group.
resteemed & upvoted the post.

Glad to see you followed Josh's advise - great to see you back....and here!

Hey @joshsigurdson yes it is. If you want to confirm u can go to @cryptoctopus account.. He's introducing @ benswann to the platform ...

Cheers

I was wondering the same thing. I've already found a reuploader here on dtube and I have a distrusting nature.

Great job @benswann I watched you last night after I saw @cryptoctopus bringing you to the forefront. STEEMIT will grow on you.

That video is great.

@cryptoctopus Yes the video was very good since I did not know that Kratom was helping so many people. Big Pharma and the FDA are EVIL in my book. I love having natural substances brought to my attention since there may be a time when it can be helpful in my life.............

I've heard of Kratom. Don't know much about it. I've always been a firm believer in regulated heroin injection sites--where medically trained nurses and doctors actually inject addicts with the drug of their choice, meanwhile they get the following benefits:

  • clean facilities
  • decreased chance of OD
  • sterile needles
  • medical care if something goes wrong
  • access to drug therapy programs to wean off the drugs
  • access to talk therapy
  • access to methodone treatment

I'm all about whatever works.

what works is just don't do drugs. Any drugs. For every so called good effect a drug has it has at least ten bad effects. Drug of choice is no drug!!!!

Thanks so much for this post. They sell Kratom in freaking mom and pop mini marts where I live. Never tried it personally but a friend had some recently and described it. Honestly have heard nothing but positive from people who aren't freaks about it and know what they're doing. Always seems to be this way with anything but stuff controlled by the government. I work in recreational cannabis and feel their stings all the time. Sad but that's the way it is.

There is a company trying to make synthetic kratom. Its name is Trevena, run by two high-ranking execs from GlaxoSmithKline. The company isn't big enough to have a bank of lobbyists, but someone worth looking at is Dr. Anne M. Phillips. She doesn't show up in OpenSecrets, but she's also former GlaxoSmithKline. She's has two roles at Trevena: on the board, and as an independent director. But she also works for Novo Nordisk in "regulatory affairs" so she's a lobbyist.

So this is why they are trying to schedule kratom, for the money, per usual.

In a macro level perspective, since it's indigenous to southeast Asia, therefore it's bad for doing business in America, they have to delay it to give more time studying and planting it to their own backyard for monopoly. :)

Pharmaceutic company = shareholders they need drugs that are sold
This drug is not expensive and it can be used in raw form, If you don't buy they don't make money
Nobody cares what is better for you, all it matters is that one can be charged more money. They make you pay more as usual.

Yep, same idea as to why they don't want cannabis prohibition to end, but they still want to synthesize cannabinoids for pharmaceuticals. They'll sell it to us in a pill, but they can't let us have a raw plant we can use directly.

You're the best Ben! I'm so happy to be able to directly support you with my upvotes! Keep it up!

36 People have been diagnosed to have died because of Kratom. Laughable! 10,000 Senior Citizens die each month from taking over the counter drugs.

Another Plant that does GREAT things for ALL Living Beings (including animals) is the Hemp Plant. Not to be confused with Marijuana. THC has very little benefits compared to CBD. With that being said, you need to find out if the CBD has been tested and where it is grown. There are a TON of CBD on the market with harmful toxins in them.

This was a good little comment/post. Informative.
