About time, the grift on this is outta control and folks are dying from OD. Honestly, there are easier ways to make a few $ of margin.

You can’t OD from 7oh. If anything, people would OD off the drugs they’ll go back to using instead of Kratom.

You can OD on just about anything, including water.

Theoretical LD50 for 7-Hydroxy Mitragynine is > 4.1mg/kg

Technically yeah, feel like most people brush past that fact. Pretty sure there are documented cases of people dying from drinking too much water in a short period of time.

Imagine if people had the ability to recognize what their body needed and not overdo it. Food. Water. Medicines. Everyone enjoys a splurge.

7oh > 1% emergency scheduled in FL

35

Interesting to see the 1% threshold, temporary taper support or jaw-breakers loophole?

36

there’s no WIP exception or anything, seems to be intended to limit 7oh to what’s naturally in extracts or leaf

37

I have a hypothesis that the increase in 7-OH production and sales is causing a decline in the opiate overdoses that have happened. OD rates have gone up every year until 7-OH started becoming popular. Studies have shown it is only a partial agonist at the mu-opioid receptor which could mean it has a better safety profile for recreational users.

Aren’t most OD cases with 7OH caused by mixing 7 with another substance such as diphenhydramine HCl? (active ingredient in benadryl) I have not looked into a lot of those cases but the few I have read up on I noticed that

39

Seriously doubt that has anything to do with 7OH. Most people have attributed it to the wide ranging availability of narcan.
