Do not make kratom a schedule 1 drug.
 

Kratom is way too helpful, in too many ways to count. But let me point out a few: kratom is anti-inflammatory, has anti-diabetic properties, anti-hepatic properties, does NOT suppress breathing, unlike most opioids. Hundreds of thousands of people have found kratom as a way off of harder drugs, has helped countless others live their lives with less pain and more autonomy. Adults age 21+ should have the option to take kratom that has been lab tested and follows all of the kcpa guidelines in place in states all over the country.
