I am a casualty of the opioid epidemic. Thanks to the pharma cos (that line your pockets), and the doctors (who got vacations to Hawaii), for pushing this crap (hydrocodone/Oxycodone) onto the public by WAAY over-prescribing; millions of Americans are now either destitute, addicts, have criminal records they otherwise would never have, and have now moved on to harder opioids like fentanyl, and now even deadlier Nitazenes (Tranq Dope) (Narcan has no affect on this drug class). Thank God I got help before it was too late for me.

But now, since the FEDERAL govt (DEA) (Last I checked the State of Virginia is a SOVEREIGN STATE! But you've sold your souls to the feds) has cracked down on these medications (Hydrocodone/Oxycodone EXTENDED RELEASE), people like myself (now, 25 years later, with a herniated disk in my back and degenerative disk and bone disorder), have to pay tons of cash to pain clinics or beg their GP/PCP to give them the meds we NEED just to do simple tasks each day, and live a semi normal life. This is no way for anyone to live. KRATOM has made a massive difference in my pain management! I don't need to use as much hydrocodone/oxycodone extend release. This is all natural plant has saved 100s of thousands, possibly millions of lives! The numbers don't lie. This plant has been used for 1000's of years for pain, anxiety and other ailments. Its all natural, and unadulterated. 

We all know drugs come from plants. That's fine. That's God given! When cone head "know it alls" sythesize these compounds in a lab, and make them 1,000 stronger, That is Sorcery, or in the Greek PHARMAKEIA. 

STOP THE BAN OF KRATOM!
