Kratom is 100% Safe for Pain Management
 

It has been proven that mitragynine does not recruit beta arrestin. There is 0% chance of respiratory depression or overdose from kratom alkaloids. Please follow the science and not hyperbolic news stories or ME findings from polysubstance abusers.

Kratom does not belong on schedule I. Over 1.5 million US citizens testify to it’s medical use in managing moderate to severe pain conditions. The hastily adopted CDC opioid guidelines of 2016 left me and many Virginians with uncontrolled pain. Kratom is a safe and effective alternative to legal and illegal opioids. The last thing Va needs is more citizens turning to fentanyl because it’s the only option left.
