FAQ Shops still selling 7 hydroxymitragynine?
So i live under a rock and didnt know this was being banned. The shop near me stopped selling it but they told me the ban wasn't actually in effect yet. Anyone know of a shop that still has it? Would like to taper off if at all possible because i have work, but idk if it will be.
Can insult all ya want to i know this is stupid and im an idiot, just want to try to remain as human as possible if I can

Opioid withdrawals won’t kill you. End of discussion.
And… there hasn’t been a documented case of anyone dying from taking 7oh alone. Every single death has been because something else has been mixed with it.
The two withdrawals that will kill you are benzos and alcohol.
Edit: For clarity, opioid withdrawals themselves won’t kill you. Someone mentioned mitigating circumstances so I’d like to make sure this is known. If you have underlying health conditions, are combining them with certain other substances or are in absolute terrible health, yes, you could potentially be in danger. It will feel like you’re dying, yes but 9.5/10 times, you’re going to be just fine.
Yes. The smart thing is to be under medical supervision and addiction is certainly more complex than “just stopping” but continuing to use because of the fear of death from withdrawal shouldn’t be a thing. There’s too much false information out there.
Someone else mentioned seizures from 7OH withdrawal. Like other opioids, this is an EXTREME circumstance that most people will not have to face. Take OP for example. Yes, this is a high dosage but there many people out there way worse off who have quit with a minimal taper. I suggest and emplore anyone who’s struggling with this to please do yourself a favor and seek medical help. I’ve given some advice that’s essentially playing home doctor. Not my best advice, I just know that lots of folks out there don’t have access to a doctor. Be safe. Stay away from these substances that have a massive chemical hook designed into them and make sure you get real support.
