I am writing in strong support of Kratom. Banning this natural herb is not a well thought out idea. So many folks like myself use it and are hard working American citizens. I've been using it respectfully for years and it has improved the quality of my life. It is a natural plant, not a chemical. Please follow the science and do your research. I have relatives in your beautiful state that also use this and I am advocating for them as well. Kratom is a safe, scientifically backed natural plant and it should be regulated, not banned. Prohibition as we know will not make it go away, it will just be driven underground. Thank you for your time.
