How far west into the chicago burbs will this reach ? <| sep |> Remember that the DEA doesn ' t arrest users or even small time dealers it ' s the big baddies and most of the time it ' s only the drug charges they can get to stick . The kratom thing is because 14 people ' s mother ' s and family started blaming kratom in a short time and the DEA has an emergency protocol to make a drug illegal and it requires it to be a schedule one o CE they realized that these people who had died were on other prescriptions that causes their suicides , yes suicides , the DEA was very willing to hold and even opened a place for the public to voice comments till December 1 and they have to read them . Most likely the ban was to appease the loudest people the grieving mother of the teen who killed himself and she just didn ' t want to blame the high dose of the anti depressants he was taking . Tldr DEA is good actually and do things like this every day around the country and the kratom thing was a misunderstanding
