As a Virginia native, I do not support the Board of Pharmacy's "Addition of Kratom as a Schedule 1 Substance" petition.

Like many others have already commented, Kratom provides an alternative for many people to live a good, pain-free life. It has helped family members of mine living with chronic pain to have a freedom that was unseen in a long while. Why must this helpful alternative consistently be attacked by individuals/groups? I say that knowing that it most likely has nothing to do with safety (which it is safe), but instead profit and unsolicited opinions.

To the person who reads this comment, do your own research. Do not listen to the various trolls and opinion-pushers of this online world.

I do not support this potential scheduling change.
