I am a 40 year old wife and mother of 3. My husband is a military veteran, my son enlisted in the U.S. Navy as Master at Arms. I have suffered from chronic pain for almost 17 years. Nothing helped. I was on opioids and handfuls of medications. I had a very poor quality of life to the point I didn't want to live anymore, until I found Kratom in 2017. It saved my life! Literally! Now I take care of my disabled daughter, I have my own small business and lead a productive life. I am not a criminal. My husband who got hurt during his service to our country is not a criminal. This plant is not harmful. I have taken it safely for 6 years. My husband (the U.S. Veteran) as well. Please do not criminalize this plant that has helped so many!!
