I agree with everything you said. I am a proponent myself, but understand the detractors points all the way. I just think prohibition is the worst policy all around, for every ssubstance.
I was thinking of starting a kratom community and found this! I'm probably not great for that job but if you ever need help lmk.
I'm really enjoying my lemmy experience so far. I like ground up feel.
Edit: I also wonder what the policy is for sourcing. If it's allowed, I think it'd probly be fine at first, but would become an issue if we got big, with spam and shallow advertising posts and shills. I dunno.
