The Hidden Dangers: My Son’s Story

March 17, 2025

It started like so many other stories-just a simple purchase at a local country market which is marketed as a “natural” supplement. My son believed what so many others do: that this product was safe because it was legal. But what we didn’t know then was the truth behind this unregulated substance.

The reality hit hard. He just wasn’t using a harmless plant; he was consuming a product with opioid-like effects, one that hijacked his brain and altered his body’s ability to function without it. The withdrawal symptoms are severe. The risks were hidden behind industry-funded propaganda and deceptive marketing.

I share his story not to scare you, but to warn you. If you or someone you love is using this substance, please take the time to research beyond what the industry tells you. Families like mine have paid the ultimate price. Don’t let yours be next.
