Many years ago when I found kratom, it changed my life for the better. In all this time it has never caused me harm. I don't believe there is any strong science to suggest that kratom is dangerous or would qualify under schedule 1.
Adults in Virginia should be able to make decisions for themselves with their doctor. A ban would also harm many small businesses in Virginia.
I'm shocked to see this happening in Virginia. I would legitimately consider moving if Virginia bans kratom.
