Kratom is a miracle herb for millions
 

I’m going to keep this short; I know kratom may not be for everyone, and there are those who abuse it. Please don’t allow Kratom to become a Schedule 1 drug because of the few that abuse it. I am 68 years old, and I can honestly tell you if I hadn’t found Kratom, I would not be alive today, enjoying retirement and my grandchildren. If we don’t have access to Kratom, the only option to deal with chronic pain is going back to Methadone and Norco, which is what almost killed me. But that’s really what this is all about because big pharma loses too much money when a good natural alternative is available. Kratom is a miracle herb for those who suffer from debilitating pain. There is no way I would ever go back to using opiates, so please keep Kratom legal and safe!

We keep hearing over & over again people saying Kratom saved their life. Don’t you think with so many beautiful people saying something like this, there is something to it?! Taking away Kratom could literally be responsible for millions of people losing their lives! Please don’t let this happen.
