Please stop criminalizing a plant medicine.  It is not dangerous.  Marijuana is much more dangerous,  yet it is legal.  Pure kratom is a beneficial plant that has helped millions of people.  How can we ban an herb yet there are pharmaceuticals that kill millions of people a year? It's not the plant that has issues its the people who abuse it.  People abuse alcohol,  tobacco and many other legal things which are way more harmful. Kratom is safe and effective.  Please think about this clearly and logically.  If the plant is marketed and regulated like other supplements there is no problem.  Most people who use kratom use it responsibly. I'm in pain and I don't want to feel high from prescribed THC, and i hate opioid drugs because it causes pruritis..so kratom is the only thing that works for my pain and chronic headaches.  I can't take nsaids because I get ulcers. Please consider your actions, you will cause detriment to many people trying to survive chronic pain
