I hold down a job, maintain a household, a marriage, motherhood, have hobbies, contribute to my community in various ways, and am respected amongst my peers. For ten years my kratom consumption has been unproblematic, so why do you have a problem with it? 

I've had starbucks lattes that make me feel more intoxicated than kratom does. This whole thing has been blown so wildly out of proportion that I almost can't help but to laugh at it.
