Kratom remaining legal is essential
 

I am a traumatic brain and Spinal Cord Injuried person from an auto accident. (Not the at fault party.)
I have had 4 very serious SCI surgeries, and am no longer a surgical candidate. 
I still need 2 additional surgeries. 
morphine and fentanyl were the only option for pain since this time in 2004.
I was introduced to Kratom several years ago. It has improved the quality of my life exceeding any expectations. Kratom has not caused any negative side effects for me. I have remained on one low dose daily, and without increase while still maintaining the therapeutic benefits. I was able to eliminate all opiates. Remaining a legal option will continue to offer me the optimal opportunity for a reasonable quality of life. I pray that is the goal.
Thank You.
