Kratom has been a life saver for me and I've been off of opiates since January 2009. Many of our veterans take kratom and your every day folks. We shouldn't be considered criminals and it's absurd to think it's a Schedule 1 drug. It's a leaf that isn't chemically altered in any way. If you're making an educated decision you wouldn't ban it and make it illegal, that's not fair to kratom consumers and science doesn't back it up being a Schedule 1.
