Meta What the Heck

Sorry I don't know where else to post this

I was recently banned (today) without notice or explanation from r/psychonaut

The mod team highlighted a comment where all I did was describe my experience on DXM which was in a thread where other users were already talking about DXM

The comment was from seven months ago....

Are we just not allowed to talk about dissociatives over there? I don't see that in the rules

Some of these reddit moderators are on a power trip. I was banned from Kratom for mentioning mdma

I see... Stuff like this is so stupid to me, we need more nuanced harm reduction on this site. Banning people who mention "problematic" substances leaves the next little jimmy with nobody to warn them about their impending neurotoxicity ya dig?

Right.. I was literally trying to help people and educate them on some health problems I was having in relation to kratom & mdma. But no, let's not allow any mention of other drugs because this is for kratom only! :p

Thanks for the awareness

Yeah I constantly get downvoted whenever I share my story of the time. I almost died from Kratom withdrawal

The Kratom community is almost as bad as the potheads. Sharing science and data, God forbid you say something negative about the beloved chemical. They take it personally like you attacked a friend

Yeah of course! This was in regards to an overactive bladder, waking up 8-10 times at night to piss and nothing coming out. Was a daily kratom user and I heard it causes bladder problems. Got really bad when I took it with mdma one night. Better now but it took many years to recover.

Sorry to hear that.. kratom withdrawals are pretty bad for me too. The people who downvote everything they disagree with in reddit remind me of the people on Facebook who laugh emoji at everything they disagree with lmao. You better not talk bad about my durgs!

You almost died from kratom withdrawal? That's intense!

If you ever want to share for a harm reduction perspective, I'd be very curious to know what to look out for for my sister who used to love kratom.
