Kratom saved my life, DO NOT SCHEDULE
 

After being on opioids for most of my life(20+years) because of a kidney problem, kratom gave me my life back. We are the only culture in history that has made nature illegal by outlawing certain plants. Kratom has been used in Southeast Asia for hundreds to thousands of years safely. We are supposed to be the “land of the free” but we’ve become the “land of laws”. If the lawmakers who have stopped listening to the will of the people keep making things illegal, something far worse is going to come along. Look at the fentanyl problem we are facing. That only came about because of the vacuum created by the policing of other opioids. It happens every single time, without fail. It’s time we did something different in this country. It’s time to become the land of the free again. It’s time to start letting the people have and keep their inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If and individual is not causing harm to anyone else we should not care what that individual does. Please stop letting the big pharma lobbyists make the laws in this country!
