If you go down to the local gas station or smoke shop, you'll likely see a large and brightly colored sign advertising the availability of a product with an strange name. An herbal supplement promising to not only take away your pain, but also get you high. And, in most places, you could buy it without any form of ID.
Welcome to the Just Dumb Enough Podcast. A show that acknowledges no one is always an expert, by dispelling misconceptions with real experts.
My guest today is Cynthia Girman. Cynthia has been an epidemiologist and biostatistician for decades, which makes it all the more unusual that one day her son overdosed on a substance that she'd barely heard of before: Kratom. There's no easy or punchy way for me to summarize the multitude of failures we discuss in this interview, but it runs the gamut from simple greed to complete government failings.
I get a lot more personally involved in this topic, and tell a story about my personal life, which is usually something I steer clear of. Let me know if it actually improves the show for you, or if you'd rather I stayed the enigma that I am. But, while I'm talking about personal experiences:
you should all really consider getting blue-free lights and/or changing you light habits. I noticed a difference when I made the shift after last week's episode spooked me.
( Www.WingsOfPeacePress.Com )
Let's please, for the love of all mankind, not do kratom!
I don't know what more we could say to convince you. I sincerely hope you aren't planning to use Kratom in any form until it has enough safety and
regulation.
The top country rankings have shuffled a little bit:
1. The United States, still led by New York, Oregon, and Illinois. Although I do see California and Florida creeping up from behind.
2. England of The United Kingdom.
3. Australia, with Western Australia now taking over.
4. Canada, with British Columbia staying at the top.
5. New Zealand, now beating Ireland.
That's it for this week! Have a great week, a great weekend, and I'll see you all back here for another new episode!
Until the next episode, pretty please do all the things to help the show: rate, review, like, and subscribe.
