I have severe SLE lupus, Sjögren’s syndrome, and stage 2 emphysema. Kratom has been a life saver as no, and I mean no doctor has done anything to help me.  Without Kratom I fear what may happen to me. Life is hard living with three different diseases and Kratom makes it bearable. I’m 51 and I have taken Kratom for 3-4 years.  Before I started taking Kratom I just wanted to die because these disease were killing me and my spirit. When I started Kratom it was a life changer. I hate that people keep trying to take it away and make the people it helps go back to the way I use to be. Let it help people and please don’t destroy that or kill peoples hope for a better life. On another note, I think it does need to stay out of the hand of children. Gas station kratom is very questionable. I have ordered my kratom from the same vendor all these year. I know this is virgin and I’m not a resident of your beautiful state but please take what I say as a positive to help keep kratom legal. I know they are people that abuse kratom, I just don’t want to see me and all the others it helps made to suffer because a few choose to be rambunctious and make terrible decisions. Thanks, kreatha snead.
