Kratom helped me overcome addiction and continues to help me with inflammation and pain. In addition, when my wife contracted Lyme disease several years ago, nothing helped with her join pain and inflammation. Then she found kratom and it gave her a normal life as her body recovered. If you want to ban kratom you’re either ignorant and need to listen to what people like us have to say or you are evil and operating on behalf of someone else’s interests. Either way, DO NOT BAN. You do anything to affect the legality of kratom in Virginia and I will make it my mission in life to make sure every individual responsible for passing such a ban never holds any kind of public office ever again. We see you and we know who funds you.
