Banning kratom will just promotes illegal fentanyl use and other pain relief alternatives
 

We can all agree the our nations opiode abuse is at a all time high so by banning kratom it will actually make the use of fentanyl and other illegal substance to run rampant. If we look back in history the initial cause for the rise in fentanyl use was stimmed from the lack of patient care and the ability for people that really was in pain to easily obtain medication. I will agree and say kratom shouldnt be available in gas stations to children but given restrictions such as alcohol is quite acceptable.
