Kratom is a natural substance with mild effects like so many other natural remedies. It is not something that needs to be regulated this way. It is not a hard narcotic. People have few options for treating chronic pain. Over the counter medications have serious side effects if used long-term. This provides a safe option. It is cruel to take this away from consumers. Wrong action! I am a Registered Nurse and I see so many in chronic pain. People cannot even afford to go to the doctor much of the time. Natural treatment options need to be kept available for them.
