My father died in 2013 due to an overdose of doctor prescribed pharmaceuticals. According to the tox screen it was a mix of oxycodone, hydrocodone, alprazolam, and cacarisoprodol. He died 1 year before I found kratom. The same kratom that has saved myself, and my 2 brothers from falling victim to opiate drug abuse. All 3 of us are sober now, and it is ONLY because we had kratom available as a tool. If you remove access to this drug kratom, you will cause more deaths. My father would still be here today, if he had known about kratom. Please, do not remove people's ability to make their own decisions.
