My father who is a MEDICAL DOCTOR discovered Kratom and recommended I try it for my spinal pain. He personally started incorporating it into his diet in order to quit taking prescribed benzodiazepines, with great success. 

Banning Kratom would solidify VIRGINIA as a state that cares not about the well-being of its residents, but bows down to the greedy hands of the PHARMACEUTICAL industry.

the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA has always been and forever will be a nation founded on principles of religious freedom and a strong-willed people. We URGE LAWMAKERS to use COMMON SENSE. While alcohol and DANGEROUS pharmaceuticals are permitted to be consumed by the masses, a ban on Kratom would PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that the interests of citizens is nonexistent, and that LAWMAKERS are either vastly INCOMPETENT, or are blatantly and obviously interested in increasing  profits of multi-billion dollar companies.
