please Do NOT Schedule Kratom, This Plant has Saved my life.
 

Hello, I am 44 years old and suffer from debilitating lower back pain from an injury 30 years ago. Both opioid & Non opioid pharmaceuticals were never fully effective in treating this pain and improving my quality of life. I have been using Kratom leaf powder(Tea)at a low dose for 7 years now and have never been healthier both Physically & Mentally. It has given me my life back. For over 10 years I was an alcoholic prior to Kratom. This plant treated my pain and emotional state simultaneously, removing all cravings for alcohol. If this plant in its natural form is banned, it will devastating to myself and others that I know. Plain leaf powder has been proven in multiple scientific studies to have a superb safety profile, please I beg you to follow the science.

 

Sincerely, Jesse
