Most people that do not know anything about kratom and its benefits typically are very misinformed about it unfortunately. It’s not a drug. It’s a supplement at the most. It has many uses from anxiety, pain and depression. Mental health is a huge issue in this country that is being treated with pharmaceuticals and most people it takes years to find the right dosage and prescription that actually works for them. In the meantime life can be hell. Same goes with people dealing with chronic pain and all that even depends on if you can find a caring doctor. Good luck. We all know how the medical industry is now. Kratom gives people the opportunity to get relief without the nasty side effects of traditional pharmaceuticals. No overdose issues. No respiratory depression. Nothing. I have been a kratom user for about 10 years. My quality of life is so much better since I switched to kratom and got away from pain killers. I could go on and on but please let people make their own decisions on how they can treat their chronic pain. Thank you.
