Hello good day to you. I live with chronic pain due to a boating accident in my early 20s that injured my spine and required multiple surgeries. I spent years totally incompacitated by pain and was prescribed lots of strong medicines which I hated taking but had no choice. A couple years ago I started learning to use kratom for pain and have responsibly ever since and today I am on no medication and am able to function. It is a scary thought that kratom could be criminalized and that what I am doing could get me in trouble with the law. Please leave this alone so people can have a way to manage their suffering.
