Stop banning harmless plants!
 

I’ve taken Kratom daily for the last six years. Oddly enough the reason I tried it was because the DEA was trying to schedule it as a dangerous “opioid”. I thought “hell, I need to try that”. No surprise there was no “high” associated with it and I almost couldn’t tell I had taken anything if it weren’t for the fact it totally took away the miserable restless leg syndrome I had been suffering from all throughout my body. It was a freaking god-send! Bonus that I was also able to stop taking my anxiety medications too. Now I take kratom like a daily vitamin to keep these things at bay.

The fact of the matter is the FDA wants kratom banned and they have no problem lying about it and making up states to make it seem “deadly”. It’s not. They know if people are able to use kratom to treat their ailments, that’s less money in the pocket of their big pharma donors. Plus pharmaceutical companies can the patent the active chemical and make their own deadly drugs for profit.

Before you pass your vote I highly suggest you go on line, order some, try it, and see that it’s literally nothing to be afraid of at all.
