Kratom should not be a scheduled drug.
 

I am a 55 year old female ~ I've known about and used kratom on and off

For  15 years. I have farmer friends in Taiwan- I myself have a few trees. 

It helps me fight the fatigue of Lyme disease.  Kratom is a simple easy herb leaf that in no way is dangerous.  It really maybe is the same "strength " as caffeine.  Maybe less. It needs to stay legal and in the choice of the public.  To let the pharmacy board make this a scheduled drug would be most corrupt and NOt what the people want. Don't forget you work for us- you do not rule us. Thank you for listening.
