Comment on How does a normal person without any "connections" anymore go about getting a law passed? How do you grassroot it or whatever? What is the whole process?

Dont you worry about what people will turn to when thats gone? Is it better for them to turn to something like heroin or oxy if they cant get kratom?

People dont just “not do drugs” when their concerned social superiors legislate them into criminality for their drug use.

Why not focus on what actually drives drug use like economic dispair and precarious housing and such. Make it sunnier so people can voluntarily take off their parkas

I think one of the issues there is Kratom is not really seen as a drug the same way others would be seen. A good first step would be forcing it to go through at least the same amount of warnings and labelling as tobacco companies.
