The United States outright banned alcohol by constitutional amendment in the early 20th century. How'd that turn out?
Exactly. The US government just banned 70h across the country and The people that own that industry already have a new chemical ready to distribute to the American people in its place. I forget what this new chemical is called, but it’s not an extract of the Kratom plant like 70H is.
And after that new chemical is banned, there will be another one after that. And Another one after that. Each one will be farther and farther away from nature. Things will just get more and more dangerous.
Edit: the new chemical is MGM-15
