5 Rules for Hosting a Crappy Dinner Party (and Seeing Your Friends More Often) — Crappy Dinner Parties

From Errin Julk-pedersen whose name I couldn't spell if Facebook didn't prompt me. "How I Discovered the Crappy Dinner Party Laura is one of my oldest friends. I've known her for as long as I can remember. We've both moved around a lot but, a few years ago we found ourselves living in the same city, both mothers to boys of similar ages. It only made sense that we would see each other often — except we didn't. Then Laura moved away, to a small community in northern Saskatchewan. When she returned two years later, she told me how friends there just show up at each other's houses, unannounced. People feed each other whatever happens to be in their fridge that day. There's no preparation, no stress — just pure enjoyment. "Let's try it," she suggested."

Please do not make Kratom a Schedule I Substance | We the People: Your Voice in Our Government

"Schedule I drugs, substances, or chemicals are defined as drugs with no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse. This is not true for Kratom, it has been shown numerous times in reports from users to help recovering Opiate addicts, treat pain, combat depression and anxiety, and much more. Deaths that involve Kratom being a persons' system have always been from the result of mixing Kratom with other drugs, rather than Kratom alone. In states that banned Kratom, Alabama specifically, opiate usage and deaths went up after Kratom was banned in the state. Please stop the DEA from scheduling Kratom as Schedule I, there are many people who will suffer from this."

DEA Argues That Public Comment Is Unnecessary Before Kratom Ban

On September 30th, the DEA is classifying the plant Kratom as schedule I drug, putting it in the same group as heroin, ostensibly because of 660 poison control reports over a five year period. There are many, many accounts of people using Kratom as an alternative to Lortab and other addictive prescription medicines. "To put kratom risks in perspective, poison control centers received 6,843 reports of young children ingesting single-load laundry pods in just the first seven months of 2016." I have elderly family members who have used Kratom for arthritis pain.
