As a concerned American citizen, I strongly urge you to keep Kratom legal in your state. For many individuals, including myself, Kratom has been a crucial tool in managing chronic pain, and anxiety. It offers a natural alternative that supports wellness and improves the quality of life for countless people. Criminalizing Kratom would not only strip away a valuable resource from those who rely on it, but also push them towards more dangerous, addictive substances. Prioritizing the well-being and freedom of your residents by keeping Kratom available for responsible adults would be a better allocation of resources. 

Thank you for your time.
