PLEASE READ, Kratom is Safe!
 

Kratom is a natural plant that has many beneficial properties and has been used safely and effectively for centuries in Southeast Asia. It is not addictive and has a low potential for abuse. Kratom has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and it has been used to manage symptoms of pain, anxiety, and depression. Therefore, Kratom should not be banned and should continue to be available for those who choose to use it as an alternative to traditional medications.

 

It is also apparent and disgusting that there are paid anonymous ads being posted here to discredit a perfectly helpful plant. Kava Kava is way more “addictive” and you can buy it at Whole Foods. So I’m not quite sure as to why this particular species of plant is being demonized. I suggest some botanists get on board to set the record straight. Kratom is perfect safe and helpful. We the people will no longer allow paid votes in any election to rig our democracy including this. 

Sincerly,
