Protect the public and make Kratom a Schedule 1 Substance
 

Please protect the public and make Kratom a Schedule 1 substance. It has been linked to overdose deaths and should NOT be easily accessible like it is currently. Every gas station and vape shop around sells it and it is targeting our young population. The FDA is looking at the abuse potential and has determined it is NOT appropriate for use as a dietary supplement. Other countries have already classified it as an illegal drug/substance. Please protect the public and make Kratom a Schedule 1 substance.
