Studies have been done by the American Kratom Association that unadulterated Keaton is safe to use. I can personally say from using it off and on for 6 years that it’s not something that’s addictive or gets you high. Kratom helps give an energy boost as well as some pain relief that traditional medicine won’t work for. I’ve personally never had any negative side effects from taking it. I believe that there is no reason for Kratom to be made illegal.
