The Kratom Guy Show

This week on the show very special guest Nicholas White, founder of Flux Odyssey supplements company. I go into the latest in kratom news and current events. I went down to Maryland for HB0283 attempted kratom ban and big win from Maryland, they will regulate for 18 plus. Excerpt with my interview with kratom, addiction, and harm reduction advocate and activist, Lisa Lowe from FACE Addiction Maryland; Heroin Action Committee. View all full interview videos on our new Youtube Channel! An update about Missouri, Thailand to decriminalize kratom,  San Diego County attempted ban, KCPA being enacted in Oregon and more!

Nick holds a BS in Chemistry and a minor in Neuroscience. At 18 he was diagnosed with ADD and cyclothymia, a form of bipolar disorder, and told he’d never be able to graduate college without taking medication like Ritalin and Lithium. Nick discovered how to solve his own health complications with supplements, nootropics and natural products. He now works as a genetic engineer at a biotech company on the cutting edge of science and has 4+ years experience as a molecular biologist. 

Nick started Flux Odyssey to pass his knowledge onto others and create natural products to help people improve their health using science-backed research.

This week we have endocannabinoid specialist, cannabis reform rock star and overall awesome human being, Dr. Uma on the show!  We also have an update from Maryland on the bills to schedule kratom from advocate and activist Chris Reading. As well as news from Oregon, Vermont, Missouri and Mississippi.

Dr. Dhanabalan also known as Dr. Uma is a highly respected and educated physician. In my opinion she played and continues to play a major part in international and local cannabis reform.

Welcome Back! Thank you so much for checking out this latest episode w/ former Huffpost reporter, Nick Wing!!  Nick Wing in my view and many others in the kratom community has been instrumental in helping to keep kratom legal in the US. He has done FOIA requests and uncovered in many instances where the government was reporting deaths caused by kratom or kratom associated deaths, were actually caused by other substances found in the body, serious underlying health conditions or extenuating circumstances. He is a journalist who covered the campaign to ban kratom for years as a reporter at HuffPost. He recently jumped ship to do criminal justice reform advocacy work at a nonprofit, but is still keeping an eye on the kratom world.
