I having been taking kratom for 4 years now, I used it to get off prescription narcotics and found, but only did it get me through the awful withdrawals it also relieved my chronic pain due to Lyme disease. Kratom also lowers my blood pressure, I haven't had to take any blood pressure medicine since I started taking kratom. I believe that kratom, had saved me from s life of pain and misery.. Please keep it legal..
