This ban must be initiated In order to remain consistent in protecting public safety and not give precedent to one item over another. The DEA states the reason Kratom should be schedule 1 is due to public safety and cites 15 deaths over several years (which is disproven that Kratom was the culprit as there were always other drugs in the toxicology reports) and a few hundred calls to cdc. Whereas cows were proven to be the sole cause of death of 22 people in 1 year! We must not be hypocritical and need to act now to ban the bovine threat! This is indeed an "imminent threat"
