Firstly NextDNS won&#x27;t even let me open your site:<p>&gt; <i>habd.as is being blocked by Cryptojacking, Goodbye Ads, notracking and oisd.</i><p>Then when I bypass that, I see this:<p>You&#x27;re selling an herb as a medicinal cure that hasn&#x27;t been tested by labs or gone through human trials, could:<p>* cause severe side effects to internal organs that aren&#x27;t immediately visible on the outside<p>* cause bad alergic reactions in some people<p>* react badly with other medicines<p>* very well kill someone.<p>There&#x27;s a reason that you have to go through a years (or even decades)-long process to get a medicine approved. You haven&#x27;t even tried to go through that.<p>I&#x27;m not saying this substance did not work for you - it might very well have. But you&#x27;re a sample size of <i>one</i>. You have <i>no</i> idea about potential side effects or risks.<p>Remember, just because something is &quot;natural&quot; doesn&#x27;t mean it&#x27;s safe.<p>So yeah. I totally understand why a payment processor cancelled your account. You could literally kill someone with this stuff.

<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;restricted-businesses" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;stripe.com&#x2F;restricted-businesses</a><p>It explicitly calls out Kratom in their terms:<p>&quot;Sale of a legal substance that provides the same effect as an illegal drug (e.g., salvia, kratom)&quot;<p>If you argue against that definition, they provide a general catch-all for products that have are deemed illegal in certain jurisdictions:<p>&quot;...products and services with varying legal status on a state-by-state basis; goods or services, the sale of which is illegal under applicable law in the jurisdictions to which your business is targeted or directed&quot;<p>Kratom is illegal in several US states and in several countries:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sprouthealthgroup.com&#x2F;substances&#x2F;is-kratom-legal-by-state&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sprouthealthgroup.com&#x2F;substances&#x2F;is-kratom-legal...</a><p>I know you&#x27;re clinging to the words &quot;controlled substance&quot;, but the truth is Kratom violates Stripe&#x27;s terms in multiple ways.

Legality and efficacy aside, marketing unproven cures for bronchitis is a good a reason as any for a payment processor to steer clear.

Hey Josh—we sent you an email from support@stripe.com a little bit ago. Once we figure that out we can get your account sorted. (Feel free to also CC me directly on your reply—edwin@stripe.com.) Sorry for the issues here.

The fact-checkers of medicine decided the truth for you, it&#x27;s for your own good they say.
