I'm 78 years old and have been taking Kratom for chronic hip pain for years. This plant is SO BENEFICIAL. I don't have to take addictive prescription drugs for pain. I'm so grateful that I can sip a little kratom and go about my day. Why are people trying to take this beneficial plant away from us? It is not in the least addictive. If I don't take it I notice myself yawning and that's about it. AND I notice my hip pain coming back. STOP doing the will of the pharma industry. We have a right to use plants and supplements and we don't need 'protection' to police us. Thanks - Ida
