Kratom is an evergreen tree that grows in Southeast Asia and is in the coffee family. It contains alkaloids like chocolate and green tea. It is a natural option for discomfort, mods boosting, energy levels and overall well being. It has helped my life in more ways than one. Like everything, when used in moderation, is totally safe and effective. I have been using the plant for 7-8 years now and I have no health issues. It has helped me with daily pain from my L4 transverse process due to domestic assault from a previous marriage. It helped me to stop taking opioids and get my life back after a nasty divorce. It is all natural and should not be criminalized. It is a plant that God put here for a purpose. Please look past all of the bad publicity & and negativity surrounding the plant. Actually look at the science behind the plant and see how it really works and affects the body. I don’t believe there has been one single Kratom reported cause of death where Kratom was the only substance in the blood. Thank you for your time and consideration of this important matter that will affect so many people.
