I hurt my back working as a nurse. Which resulted in three back surgeries. All of this lead to my having chronic back pain. I was on prescription pain medication for 7 years, I was miserable and could barely function through out the day. In 2016 I found Kratom and decided to try it. Nothing else was working and I was ready to commit suicide, to my surprise the kratom helped. I was able to start doing things again and no longer felt like death was my only option. My family and I love to travel and if places start making Kratom illegal we will no longer be able to travel as I will have no option for pain control. Please do not make Kratom illegal
