Please reconsider the ban.. many of my friends and family take kratom to better their life. I even took it for a brief moment after I had back surgery. I didn't want to be on pain pills. I'm convinced it cured my son of his poly substance abuse, which is a blessing to my family. I have a son who is a meaningful member of society. He works 2 jobs and has a family now. Talking about it makes me tear up because I know what his life could have been and what it was for many years. I have another friend who uses it for ptsd and insomnia and has been for many years with no problems. Please, I beg of you to reconsider a ban. This plant is helping millions. I don't understand why people want it banned. Anyways, thank you for hearing what I had to say, and God bless you
