Kratom should NOT be added to Schedule 1!
 

Kratom has helped me tremendously with energy, motivation, and sleep issues due to stress. I’m lucky that I have not needed it for physical discomfort, but I’m thankful to have it on hand in case I ever need it. We as adults should have access to botanicals that improve our lives, and this 100% natural powder boosts my mood so that I can have meaningful, successful days when needed. I’ve been addicted to sugar, caffeine, and alcohol…but not Kratom. I benefit from it responsibly as with all things in life, and Kratom users know that “less is more”…it’s expensive and no one wants to use more than they need!
