My husband and myself have been using Kratom off and on for firteen years with ZERO side streets. We use it for pain and anxiety, saving us from using dangerous and expensive pharmaceuticals. Which I know this is what this is all about. Money for the government!  Just stop!  Leave people alone. We’ve had excellalant results and have stopped many times with no withdrawals. God put planes here for us to use and the Gov just wants to make money!  I’ve also know lots of people who have used it to come off drugs with no withdrawals. Instead of treatment centers they can’t afford and meds they couldn’t afford, Kratom changed their lives, got them completely off drugs!  Leave it along if you care about people like you say you do. It’s a natural plant for Gods sake!  How much danger can it be?  It’s not!  Keep your grubby little paws off something that helps people. Shame on you!
