Banning Kratom will cause many good people to lose their jobs, fall off from everyday, working society, and even die. One could never understand unless one has been addicted to a substance like alcohol and heroin. Kratom gives those people the ability to function normally...they are not trying to get high, they just want to go to work, take care of their kids, and just try to be a good functioning person in society. I promise you if you take Kratom away from these people the VAST MAJORITY will return to their old habits...and especially in the world of opiates, what with all the fentanyl going around, many will indeed die as a result. Do the right thing please and Do NOT ban kratom.
