    They sell beer in most truck stops. It doesn't mean beer is legal to use at work or have in the truck. What's fair or what anyone hopes is true is NOT the guide for what is legal.

    Before someone brings something into the truck or consumes for relaxation consider is this worth failing a drug test? Before deciding that, read what needs to be done to work after failing a drug test. I have never read anyone claiming the SAP process is easy or convenient. Does anyone think their life is not easy or convenient enough & looking for difficulties & complications?

    Ohh they already have patents on the plant. Also it's a natural substance. Its just the leaf of a tree and in the same family ### coffee. Also Recently discovered is that a kratom alkaloid only found in the leaf and cats claw can surprisingly cure many cancers

    Kratom: Unsafe and ineffective
    Side effects and safety concerns

    People who take kratom believe that it helps them. But kratom hasn't been shown to be safe or to treat any medical conditions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned people not to use kratom because of possible harm it can cause. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration calls kratom a drug of concern.

    Poison control centers in the United States received more than 3,400 reports about use of kratom from 2014 through 2019. These included reports of death. Side effects reported included high blood pressure, confusion and seizures.

    Here's a list of poisonous plants. It's foolish to assume because some chemical comes from a plant that it's safe.

    So Kratom is curing cancer but only sold in gas stations and vape shops? People will do anything but stop trying to get high. I hear bath salts not only taste good they give you super-powers.
