I do not support this petition.
 

Kratom is a safe, non addictive and natural alternative to prescription and OTC pain killers. It is safe and effective. Reading the comments of those in support of this petition. I wonder if they know the facts about acetaminophen, which is actually linked to 100s of deaths per year and 10,000s of overdoses and hospital emergency room visits per year in the US alone. Tylenol should not be legal and classified as schedule 1 before kratom should. NAIDS can destroy your liver and kidneys and can cause stomach lining issues. 

I have used kratom safely for years, without any addiction or abuse.  Please consider all the people it is helping that have chronic pain to which Kratom is one of the only safe and effective alternatives.
