Kratom has helped me with pain after coming off of 100mcg of Fentanyl and Norco voluntarily.
 

Please keep kratom legal. So many people use it for pain. I use it for pain relief and have used it for around nine years after asking my neurosurgeon to wean me off of 100mcg x three days and Norco for breakthrough pain. I have never gotten a “buzz” from it just pain relief. The only thing that happens when you take to much is that you end up with shakes and end up vomiting.  I do not use anything else for pain except kratom. If you make it illegal you will have more overdoses of other drugs. Please don’t make this about money and control. Let this remain legal. There are some people who sell kratom without testing but if a person does ask about third party testing and make sure that the vendor follows the guidelines then everything works out well.
