Kratom LEAF is very safe
 

If you must regulate extracts in some way, many of us understand that. But to remove our access to the raw leaf powder for making tea, would be to remove something as benign as chamomile that helps people with problems that are almost impossible to fix before we found Kratom leaf. There have been people using plain leaf Kratom for centuries and it’s never been an issue until American marketing practices got ahold of it- of course it’s been concentrated and purported to be recreational- anything to make a buck. Please don’t let those charlatans represent what is large diverse group of productive people that simply use a natural leaf product to ease symptoms of things that would make productivity far harder. Thank you so much, I trust that you will come to see the difference between most of us Kratom tea drinkers and the headshop grifters that sell mystery chemicals and concentrations merely labeled Kratom.
