I am a 64-year-old woman who wouldn't be able to do home and yard work without kratom. I just experienced property damage from a tornado. I would not have been able to remove limbs and tarp my roof without using kratom to help with the pain. I have had two major back surgeries and require at least one more. I have never been addicted to anything in my life except legal nicotine which I finally was able to recover from.  

If you outlaw kratom, those that abuse it will move on to something else leaving people like me suffering needlessly. I believe this push to outlaw kratom, and other natural remedies is being pushed by big pharma. 

I believe our Politian's are greed motivated and it has got to stop.
