Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks
A live, come-as-you-are conversation about natural kratom and herbal wellness. Join us for Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks every Thursday at 7 PM EST, where I host a live Zoom session where people can learn about natural kratom, ask questions, connect with others, and hear exactly what is happening in the real world not just in politics or the media, but in the everyday lives of consumers, small businesses, and the farmers who grow this plant. The world of wellness is evolving, and with it comes the necessity for open dialogues about natural remedies. In our discussions, we emphasize the importance of understanding both the benefits and risks associated with herbal supplements, especially kratom. Many individuals are seeking alternatives to traditional pharmaceuticals, and kratom has emerged as a popular choice. It’s crucial to share real-life experiences that highlight both the positive outcomes and the challenges faced by users. During our sessions, we focus on practical advice and real stories from people who have integrated kratom into their lives. This personal touch makes our discussions relatable and informative. We often feature guest speakers who share their journeys with herbal medicine, which adds a diverse perspective to our conversations. This format encourages a deeper exploration of topics that are often overlooked. For instance, we discuss recent research findings on kratom and its potential therapeutic benefits. By examining studies, we equip our community with factual information to make informed decisions. Talk Beyond Just The Headlines Natural kratom has helped countless people reclaim quality of life, yet most of what the public hears comes from headlines, not real humans with real experiences. Christopher’s Weekly Tea Talks is where that changes. Moreover, we aim to demystify kratom by addressing common myths and misconceptions. This awareness is essential in navigating the discourse surrounding kratom, especially in light of regulatory challenges.

Understanding the Hemp Ban and other bans
The kratom community is very familiar with bans, but the recent hemp one is going to impact over 90% of the industry, and not a lot of people are talking about it. In our most recent episode, Holly Hillyer unpacks the complexity of the hemp ban that was snuck into the spending bill. In the Christopher's Corner segment, Christopher discusses kratom bans and gives accessible information on how to fight against them. https://pod.link/1653173956/episode/Z2V0dGluZ3BlcnNvbmFsd2l0aHBsYW50LnBvZGJlYW4uY29tLzI3MTQwNGZjLTUwMmItMzYwOC1hMWEwLTY3MjE3NDNkNzU2NA
Surgery Tomorrow
I just wanted to post an update. I will be having vascular surgery on my right leg tomorrow. I've cut back on my kratom over the past week and am ready to go. I won't be taking my morning serving of kratom powder, but I am taking small amounts today. From everything I've gathered, as long as I abstain from any kratom for about 12-18 hours before surgery, I will be fine. I will let you know how this theory plays out.:) For people dealing with chronic pain, going days without any relief is just not going to happen, plain and simple. I will keep everyone posted! This is the first of a few surgeries I'll be having this year. My left leg in February. I want us all to learn and understand kratom and anesthesia better. If anyone is interested in the details, I uploaded my diagnosis and notes into ChatGPT for more explanation. https://chatgpt.com/share/6942fe51-3950-8010-add1-25ed120bb22b
Kratom for Pets
Hi all! Do you give your pets kratom? If so, we'd love to include your antidote in our next episode! Tell us what plant medicine works for your fur babies, even if it's not kratom. :)
Why Medicinal Plants Should Never Be Illegal
At some point, we have to step back and ask a very basic question: how did we end up criminalizing medicinal plants? Plants predate governments, laws, and pharmaceutical companies by hundreds of millions of years. Long before modern medicine existed, human beings relied on the natural world for healing. Leaves, roots, bark, flowers, and resins were our first pharmacy. That fact has not changed just because we invented pills. Medicinal plants have been a vital part of human health and wellness for centuries. In my view, medicinal plants in their natural form should never be scheduled or illegal. Cannabis. Coca. Kratom. Poppy. These are not inventions. They are part of the natural world, and they have been used responsibly by cultures across the globe for thousands of years. When governments outlaw whole plants, they are not protecting public health. They keep repeating the same mistake. Plants Are Not the Problem The Importance of Medicinal Plants in Modern Health History makes this painfully clear. Whenever a plant has been banned, the ban has not eliminated use. It has only pushed people toward more dangerous alternatives. Alcohol prohibition did not stop drinking. It created organized crime and poisoned products. The war on drugs did not end addiction. It escalated overdoses, incarceration, and black-market innovation. Addiction is a human condition, not a botanical one. You cannot legislate it away. Plants, in their natural state, tend to be self-limiting. They contain complex profiles of compounds that work together, often creating natural ceilings on effect. Whole-plant use is typically slower, less concentrated, and more ritualized.
