I have been off pain pills for almost 8 years now, after a 16 year drug addiction, that left me homeless. I got my life back. I got my family back. I am a responsible adult who works and pays taxes. I'm a homeowner now, I never thought I'd be able to say that. All with the help of kratom. This plant helps so many people coming off drugs and with chronic pain.   I am just a normal person, I garden, go to work, and spend time with my family. I'm not out here stealing, lying, or putting myself in extremely dangerous situations to get what I need. ITS A PLANT AND DOES NOT DESERVE THIS TREATMENT. Please don't punish us for wanting a better life.
