Kratom Saves Lives- Solution to Opiod Epidemic
 

Kratom has helped save my life. I became addicted to narcotic pain pills and eventually heroin.

With the help of kratom, I was able to transition away from all hard drugs/ alcohol and regain control of my life.

If you make this product illegal, it WILL push many addicts and people with chronic pain back to much more dangerous narcotic solutions.

There is NO reliable scientific evidence that kratom causes harm and it is literally physically impossible to die of an overdose (similar to marijuana). ALL reported fatal overdoses that have EVER been recorded, are a result of the consumption of other drugs at the time.

PLEASE do not push thousands of people back to street drugs with an ill-considered ban of this natural product. Thanks.
