Making Kratom a Schedule I substance would be a huge mistake! I had failed back surgery in 2013 and I had been on prescription Oxycodone 20 mg SIX times a day and 100 mc/g fentanyl patches every 3 days. I also had Gastric Bypass which caused me a malabsorption issue. I took these medications as prescribed for years and just finally decided it wasn't worth it anymore because I'd be lucky to get an hour of relief, so the cons outweighed the pros for me. I found Kratom, it gave me my life back. I was also able to give birth to FOUR perfectly healthy, super intelligent babies who have always been advanced for their age! One is now 11, the best part is my poor babies didn't have to go through Neonatal Withdrawal Syndrome from all the poisonous opiates I had been on previously, as I used Kratom SAFELY, and EFFECTIVELY throughout all 4 pregnancies. I also had the easiest of labors and births, perhaps because of this plant.
