Kratom has been immensely beneficial for myself and many of my friends. Being a heavy drinker I completely stopped drinking alcohol because of kratom. It is so much safer and healthier on the body. Please don’t criminalize this plant, it is non toxic and has a pretty mild effect. People aren’t hurting themselves with this plant, if anything they are using it to stay away from harder drugs.
And please remember all of the chronic pain patients who are no longer shackled to traditional opioid medications, who have cut them out completely and live productive lives all in thanks to kratom.
