Kratom is a plant similar to coffee. Kratom has quite literally changed my life! Many years ago, I was prescribed Diluadid, Oxymorphone, Hydromorphone, OxyContin, and more for my pain. I was able to get off of ALL pain meds cold turkey because of Kratom. I have severe chronic pain from a number of health conditions and kratom helps me  function as a human. Please do not ban this plant! I do not want to go back to narcotic pain meds ever again!
