I was a social worker before staying home with my kids. I now homeschool our four children. Kratom has drastically changed my life for the better. It gives me relief from back pain and also helps me in so many other ways without altering my ability to be present for, educate, and care for my children. It is nothing like illegal drugs and is certainly less scary than alcohol or even most legal prescription psychotropics. Do not take it away. It has given so many people their lives back.
