Since I found out about kratom  in 2018, I have discovered how beneficial and safe this natural plant can be. It has safely helped my husband and I with pain. Compared to prescribed narcotics, kratom is much safer and non addictive. It also helps boost my mood and gives me energy. The pharmaceutical industry would like to criminalize kratom so that it can get more people back on opioids and boost their profits. Criminalizing possession of kratom would harm so many people who are safely taking kratom without any danger to themselves or others. I hope you choose to side with real people instead of big pharma.
