8 Factor Analysis contradicts schedule 1. Kratom is saving lives!
 

The 8 Factor Analysis contradicts schedule 1 and Kratom should be studied for its therapeutic potential. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8860177/

We should be embracing these plants and herbs as a solution to numerous issues we face as society. Opioid abuse, alcohol abuse, pain control and numerous other applications are provided by kratom. This plant needs to be studied and in fact NIDA has spent Millions studying kratom.

Schedule 1 will just be archaic in this day and age.

Thank You,

Christopher
