I have dealt with debilitating anxiety and Kratom has allowed me to function without the side effects of Xanax, while working just as well. I would much prefer to take a low dose of a plant derived product than fill my body with chemicals and drugs that have known side effects. Just like with anything, education and personal responsibility are necessary (let’s face it, drinking too much water too quickly has the potential to harm you), but scheduling this plant goes far beyond that. Please leave health decisions up to each person, not the government.
