I wrote a very long comment about my story and how Kratom has given me my life back and how with it I have so much less pain

  Then it disappeared before I could send it. 

But I see so many stories just like mine in this comment section.  Please read these stories and realize that this grandma will be prowling the alley for kratom if it is made illegal.  This may lead me to getting Kratom laced with other things, or just running into trouble with drug dealers....who knows.  But I cannot go back to the pain I had before Kratom.  I am not addicted to it in any way and often just take breaks from my daily dose if I don't need to be active.  It tastes so horrible that I can't imagine people taking it unless they are really in pain and need help. But having it has allowed me to do things with my kids and grandkids that I wasn't able to do before I discovered Kratom.  Nothing else that I can get legally works for me.  And doctors really don't want to prescribe pain pills any more.  Nor do I really want to take those when a non addictive, natural alternative is available.  

The people who have been using Kratom for maybe centuries haven't died out so obviously it can't be dangerous.  

Anyway, please do the right thing for your constituents and not for Big Pharma 's pocketbook.  

Please read these stories, know that mine is very similar, and help the regular people instead of Big Pharma.  Thank you!
