Kratom is in the coffee family and milder than coffee. Criminalizing kratom is as silly as criminalizing coffee. Alcohol and tobacco are highly addictive and poses extreme dangerous risks to health and should be criminalized. I have taken kratom for the last 12 years and I am 48 years old. My doctors can't get over how healthy I am for my age. Kratom is not addictive. It's the same as taking a multivitamin. It is a botanical. Do the science and stop assuming, it's silly.
