🚨 PLEASE SHARE THIS. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.

I am in West Tennessee, and this is happening right here.

Today, October 1, 2026, law enforcement in Memphis seized nearly 30,000 packages of KLAZ, Cat’s Claw, Botanical Extract and other synthetic kratom products from a wholesale operation.
This wasn’t somebody selling a few pills out of their car. This was a wholesale operation with products being distributed to retailers throughout West Tennessee. They had to bring in an 18-wheeler to haul away the amount of product they seized.

And now we know something that every person taking these products needs to know:

FENTANYL HAS BEEN FOUND IN THESE PRODUCTS.

Tennessee authorities have tested seized products and found fentanyl compounds, including a fentanyl analogue and p-fluorofentanyl, in products associated with these labels.

And I am not saying this because I read some random post on Facebook.

I TOOK KLAZ MYSELF.

I personally tested POSITIVE FOR FENTANYL after taking it.

And then I experienced withdrawal that I can only describe as f**king horrific.

This wasn’t a little discomfort. It wasn’t just feeling tired or having a headache. My entire body felt like it was going insane. I had the sensation of bugs crawling underneath my skin. It felt like something was moving under my skin and I couldn’t get away from it. I couldn’t just scratch an itch and make it stop. It was this horrible crawling, crawling sensation that made me feel like I wanted to crawl out of my own damn skin. I was sweating and shaking. My body couldn’t settle down. My sleep was completely disrupted. I could be absolutely exhausted and still not be able to get normal, restorative sleep because my body felt like it was fighting me. I had that horrible restless, wired feeling where you cannot get comfortable in your own body. And this went on long enough that I started realizing just how serious this shit actually was.

Think about what that does to your head. You bought something that was packaged like a legitimate botanical supplement. It had a name. It had a label. It came in a pretty box. You think you know what you’re taking.

Then you stop taking it and your body goes through hell.

I KNOW. I LIVED IT.

And now nearly 30,000 packages of these products have been seized from one Memphis wholesale operation.

That number should scare the hell out of people.
Because those aren’t 30,000 individual pills sitting in somebody’s house. That’s thousands upon thousands of packages that were part of a distribution operation and could have ended up in people’s hands across West Tennessee and beyond.

I don’t care how professional the packaging looks.

I don’t care what the label says.

I don’t care if somebody tells you it’s “just Cat’s Claw,” “just botanical extract,” or “just kratom.”

I personally took KLAZ. I personally tested positive for fentanyl. And I personally went through the withdrawal from hell.

I’m telling people about this because I don’t want somebody else taking these products thinking they’re harmless because they bought them legally off a shelf or because the package looks legitimate.
Please tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell anybody you know who takes these products.

Don’t assume the label tells you what’s actually in that pill.

I wish I had known what I know now before I ever took one.

I’m sharing this because people deserve to know. YOU deserve to make an informed decision whether or not to continue.

And never ever be ashamed or embarrassed to reach out for help and resources. My DM’s are always open if you need help finding resources.

Please be safe out there. We are having a few ODs around here with packaging that people keep mislabeling as “Kratom” near their bodies. I’ve took Kratom leaf before the ban, it did wonders and I could go days without having any with no issues. This is NOT Kratom. Sick of the mislabeling if I’m being honest because it undermines a very serious issue. Fent.

I lost my girl Delilah on 7-9-26, and I’m watching her sister Dixie go through something that I expected might happen, but I honestly didn’t realize it would be like this.

Delilah’s passing was sudden and critical. She had a medical emergency, and everything happened so fast. We had to rush her to the emergency vet, and because everything happened so quickly, Dixie never got the chance to see her sister again or say goodbye.

Dixie and Delilah were littermates. They weren’t just two dogs that happened to live together. They were sisters and they were best friends. They had been together since the day they were born. They played together, slept together, shared toys, and were always together.

Since Delilah passed away, Dixie has just not been herself. She keeps going to all the places where Delilah used to lay. She moves around the room and seems like she is looking for her. She will even pick up toys that belonged to both of them, play with them for a few seconds, and then drop them like she realizes they are not bringing Delilah back the way they used to.

The hardest thing to watch is that Dixie can’t seem to settle. She is not sleeping like she normally does. When she does finally fall asleep, it might only be for 15 or 20 minutes before she gets up and starts moving around again. I don’t know if she is searching for her or if she just doesn’t understand why everything feels different now.

When I go outside briefly, Dixie stays inside and cries. She has never been a dog that had to be alone because she always had her sister there with her. Now she doesn’t have that anymore, and the house feels so empty.

The other thing that worries me is her food. Dixie has always been extremely food driven. She loves her food. Normally, it doesn’t matter what it is, if it’s food, she wants it. Seeing her turn her nose up at food is so abnormal for her. Because she isn’t eating like she normally does, she has started throwing up, which I know can happen when dogs aren’t eating and their stomach is empty.

I expected Dixie to grieve. I just didn’t know what it would look like. I keep hearing people say dogs don’t grieve the way we do, and I understand they may not process loss exactly like humans do, but watching Dixie go through this makes it very clear that she knows her sister is gone.

The house feels empty. It’s empty for both of us. There is a huge void where Delilah should be, and I just want to be able to help Dixie the best way I can.
For anyone who has gone through losing one dog when another dog was left behind, especially littermates, how did you help them settle? How long did it take before they started acting more like themselves again?
