I implore you to reconsider banning kratom. It has been a very helpful plant for my inflammation and body pains. It is simply a leaf that is ground up into a tea. It's far less harmful for me than all the prescription drugs or the alcohol and many people use to manage the same issues. Please consider regulating kratom rather than banning it entirely. It's just a plant. We have come too far as a species to keep outlawing plants. With the opiate crisis out of control we need healthier alternatives. Kratom is part of the solutions not the problem.
