Confiscated Kratom, Stuck in Pain: What Now?

So as you may know I take Kratom for chronic pain depression and ADHD. It’s federally legal and legal in my state. I take a company plane to work and they found it in a protein container and suspected it was Kratom. They confiscated it and no I’m stuck up here in the middle of no where in pain and feeling really low. I don’t know what to do.

Is it something you could get a doctor's note for? Like how they do with medical marijuana (before marijuana was decriminalized)

gosh I did talk with my doctor. I explained why I use it and just like I suspected she advised I take it less or not take it when I’m on my Concerta. But she only said, that’s because it may cancel out some of the effects of Concerta. Not because she thought it was unhealthy or anything along those lines. I obviously tested the theory by taking much smaller doses while on Concerta and saw no adverse effects from the combination. I eventually was able to take my full dose (3 grams) Both worked perfectly parallel with each other,If not better. 😊 I will definitely be discussing this further. That being said the only airline that is available to get to this remote location explicitly bans the “substance” from their airline. It’s to be expected being that it’s a private oilfield corporation.👎🏽 I also suspect that if I try to get it approved by my doctor she will decline due to lack of knowledge or education on the herbal Benifits. 😞

Also the airline said I could take back my supplement but they will be taking a sample to test it. I didn’t feel like I legally had to tell them what it was even though they suspected it might be. They mentioned that I could be banned from the airline if it is indeed Kratom. So there goes my new job….unless they take it by a case by case basis and hear my situation I can’t see this going well.
