Kratom is a great and currently legal alternative. It works on opioid receptors and cannot be fatally overdosed. Unfortunately, many sates are already moving on banning it. Big pharma lobby for the win.

Kratom still comes with risks of withdrawal. Pure leaf kratom would be difficult to OD on, but extracts and tinctures could easily be overdosed on.

What are you talking about? Link to any case of death that has been attributed exclusively to an overdose of kratom. You can't, because it doesn't exist.

Stock up while you can. However some states have unbanned it, and others yet are not voting their bans into legislation. There's hope yet, but it will be a hard fight, particularly with the FDA.
