Please hear me out on this. I live with multiple disorders that cause a tremendously high amount of pain. I have gained my quality of life back after being allergic to most medication or having it cause health concerns, I have been utilizing Kratom since 2015. I am healthier than ever because I can function! KRATOM saved my brother's life from fentanyl for almost 4 years. My sister's life has been saved from serious addictions thanks to the responsable use of Kratom. I live in Virginia and cannot have this taken away; it is taking my life away from me if this is ever banned. It will cause the fentanyl crisis to heighten like never seen before. Have you any idea how many have gotten off of illicit fentanyl/xylazine with Kratom? Thousands up on thousands! KRATOM SAVED MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MANY LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS! Do not make this grievous mistake. 

Thank you for your time.
