There's is too much misinformation regarding kratom. After experiencing terrible reactions to gabapentin, Cymbalta and Lyrica, for my spinal stenosis. After discovering kratom, I was able to finally function with minimal pain. 

And now I am vacationing in a country where kratom is not legal. There isn't an OTC that can take the edge of the pain. Also note , I am NOT going thru any kind of withdrawal. My back hurts a lot and for the first time in years I need my cane to walk.

Why not regulate kratom to make sure the product is safe and not cut with dangerous additives. Keep it legal. Tax it, similarly what's been done with the legalization of Marijuana. And stop listening to big pharma because they certainly don't want an affordable option to take away from their mega profits. And stop with the fear mongering already.
