    Well, lets see. Three posts. Joined in early November of this year. All of his posts concern drugs and two of them have direct links to drug sites.
    Salesman or just a low rank employee probably. I'll erase the links and see where it goes from there.

    I take kratom, a lot of it, daily for years. I just passed a dot test. I admit I was concerned. I hope this helps others.

    Dude people take kratom specifically to get high. It feels like a weak version of heroin but it also makes you dizzy. One time I took it I passed out on a train. I saw a bunch of dots and then my hearing completely shut down and I was unconscious for several seconds. You would have to be retarded to drive on that.

    I slam a bottle of KChill on the weekend once every couple months and relax. Called our local whiz quiz office and asked them about it. They said they’ve never seen a problem with people taking it.

    This one got Elon Musk to think about space X.

    "But you can't fire me. Some guy on the internet told me I can eat/drink/smoke X as much as I want."

    Maybe the FMCSA's opinion or the company's opinion about Kratom counts more than the beanie-wearing slacker at the smoke shop?

    Kratom isn’t on the radar. It’s even sold at a few truck stops I’ve been too. It’s no big deal at all just be aware it is a few states it is illegal and it’s a couple counties in Ohio and Indiana I believe where it’s illegal also tho not the entire state which is weird. If you have it definitely do not leave it visible just to be safe.

    You ever tried Kava? I tried it. Did the whole shebang, got the powder, the shaker even did the cheese cloth where you put it in the big bowl and squeeze it for like 20 minutes like the Polynesians. You drink it, tastes like mud water. It kind of gives you a very mild buzz and is a bit relaxing if you can just get past the taste. They also sell little powder packets called u relax or something.
    They are hardly worth the money. Its.ok but drinking mud water makes it a tough sale
