Kratom has been around since time began, just like tobacco and alcohol. You have not banned those two drugs. If you ban Kratom you then need to ban tobacco and alcohol. They have killed more people, but you leave them alone..why? Because you are paid LOTS of money to keep them on the market.
Kratom saves lives, they help people who are addicted to opioids because of DOCTORS prescribing them, I know because I was one also. Kratom helped me deal with the pain when all else failed. I take it when I need to and do not have any adverse effects if I don't.
Stop trying to rule people like a dictatorship.
