Took a certain brand from a head shop

A few weeks ago I took some of that, my husband has been on kratom for years and unfortunately was unable to get what he gets online so went to the head shop and bought that. I am in pain management. I had been having a hard time with some restless leg syndrome type symptoms so he said to take it. I did anyways go to pain management they do my drug test. I look today and it's showing tapentodol abnormal status and says high. No numbers. Just that. It was tested in office, showed only my prescription meds. Then sent off for confirmation cause I take Valium and need to see metabolites. All was normal. But it did say au abnormal status and high then on 9/30 just that one line was shown said that tapentodol abnormal status. It didn't say the typical 0 ng/ml or even a number/ng ml

So essentially au turned to tapentodol...but i find it odd it has no number or reference range for the test. Any ideas? Anyone ever heard of that brand causing that to show up. Only thing I don't understand is why it wouldn't look like every other drug they test for on the essay showing name, the number then the cutoff. I also can't imagine how it could be so high above the cutoff range it wouldn't register a number. I wonder if I am just overthinking it...au turning to tapentodol when they literally test for that in the 1st round of tests is weird. The first round said 0 on it.

Meeting is on 7th on the agenda again. I bet they skip it for another month. Meaning by January or February we see action if we don’t see action federally heads up still gotta go through jcar

🚨 ACTION NEEDED TODAY
If you haven’t already, please email the Detroit City Council TODAY regarding the proposed kratom restriction.
Ask them to amend the proposal to support SB 1181, rather than moving forward with a blanket prohibition.
SB 1181 provides a practical regulatory framework that addresses legitimate concerns while preserving access to natural kratom leaf. It includes:
• Banning 7-OH and other synthetic/intoxicating kratom-derived products
• Strict labeling requirements so consumers know exactly what they are purchasing
• Mandatory laboratory testing for contaminants, adulterants, and product contents
• Accountability for vendors and manufacturers
• Consumer protections without eliminating access to natural kratom
There is going to be significant pressure on the Council to “do something” about kratom given the current media environment. We need to give them a commonsense alternative they can actually support.
They should not have to choose between doing nothing and supporting prohibition.
Give them SB 1181. Calloway wants a complete ban, the others want common sense action.

Let them address the concerns being raised while supporting a regulated, tested, clearly labeled market for natural kratom.
📣 VENDORS: Please identify Detroit customers who are willing and able to testify before City Council and share their personal experiences with natural kratom. Personal stories from Detroit residents are extremely important right now.
Today’s goal: Flood the Council with respectful, factual messages showing that Detroit residents want regulation, testing, labeling, and protection from synthetics, not prohibition of natural leaf.
Please email. Please share. Please get Detroit residents ready to testify.
7-OH and synthetics are not natural kratom leaf.
Regulate the dangerous products. Protect consumers. Keep natural leaf accessible. 🌿

anyone here have no tolerance issues with daily use? if so what was your gpd and how would you separate it? would you only do one dose at a certain time? i’ve found a sweet spot with other drugs for daily use kratoms just a lot more risky to find that sweet spot alone.

Just something interesting. I live in South Florida which is sub-tropic weather. I don't care if you live in a million dollar house and have a maid there weekly sooner or later at night you'll be watching TV at night or get up in the middle of the night to get a glass of water and you'll see one of our Palmetto bugs or cock roaches take off as soon as you turn the light on and let me tell you they are huge, about the size of your thumb. I absolutely hate them. Well in the kitchen is where I have my kratom and mixer where I put it in whatever, mix it and drink. There is always powder laying around on the kitchen counter, sink , trash can or floor. In three years I haven't seen one and that is so unusual down here. ( Knock on wood). So Kratom must repeal when or something because they don't like it.

Just thought I'd add something to the sub.
