Criminal Act is Making the Use of KratomI llegal
 

Hi,  Don't do it, please.  Like any other substance that is ingested there will be people to abuse it as is with Kratom so the nay sayers of it jump on the bandwagon and try to ban it...Most of which from me few years with using it and following the new about it is the drug companies....wonder why...

  I was introduced to it when my pain relief was taken away by the government, because of the BS abuse issue.  So the majority that needed the relief for chronic pain are pushed to the streets to find alternative ways.  Hmmm, bet illegal sales went up after that government intervention.  Anyway I have been using kratom for a few years now and while not as effective as the other pain reliever it does subue it to being tolerable.  Does not make me high just subdues the pain. I can not take kratom for a day, when i run out, and very little if any withdraw issues but the pain increases.  

   Kratom can be abused, absolutely. Not sure how much it would take to get to the abuse level but that stuff is nasty tasting (the one drawback).   But for most everyone I know that uses it it helps to get through the days with less pain, where our government could give two shytz about when they stopped us being able to keep or previous pharma pain relievers.

Before you judge why dont you all try it and see what it does to you....Its a joke that people making a big deal of this product, affordable and effective.

Please Don't Do It.....

Andy
