I have a spinal injury resulting in a pinched nerve. Kratom is a safe alternative to the dangerous painkillers that have poisoned our nation over the past two decades. For less than $80/month I can live pain free and take care of my family. If Kratom were made illegal, I would have to switch over to dangerous, highly addictive opiate painkillers. The side effects from these painkillers are awful and I would no longer be able to take care of my family in the way I currently do.
