KRATOM IS SAVING LIVE, DURING THIS FENTANYL & OPIATE EPIDEMIC!! DO NOT BAN!!!
 

Kratom has just recently saved my best friend’s life!! He was struggling with a crippling HEROIN addiction and OD’d(on Heroin, laced with Fentanyl)….I introduced him to Kratom. I am SO PROUD TO SAY…that my best friend….is now 1 month clean for the FIRST time, since he was 15years old, when the Doctor and Big Pharma got him hooked on <pain pills>, after an accident!! He finally has HIS life back, which was stolen from him by Big Pharma!!

He also says that, “it doesn’t even get [him] “high”, and have had absolutely NO side effects….only peace of mind that [he] may actually be capable of living a normal life….one [he’s] never been able to have thus far”!!! The man uses it, as a simple tool….a tool in which he's never been given before….and you want to to take that away from this man??? A tool that’s practically just a simply tea?! 

He actually called me the other night…..crying…thanking me, just for introducing him to this life saving herb “KRATOM”, and said he couldn’t even remember the last time he hasn't had cravings for ANY drugs…not since he was a teenager…! He described it as a “MIRACLE PLANT, in which GOD himself had placed in the palms of [his] hands, as a beacon of hope….in that maybe…just maybe… [his] life DOESN’T have to end up as simply another statistic”!

To sum this up-for ANYONE looking to support this ban on kratom….I want you to ask yourselves this: Does this really sound like another one of these “dangerous & deadly” Schedule 1 Narcotics to you??  Just think of how many people’s deaths you’ll have on YOUR hands?!! ….Is the problem here really kratom and its users….or should we be focusing on the real problems at hand here…..if we’re going to put an end to this epidemic, and TRULY make a difference here, to SAVE LIVES….lets first start by aiming at where they are originating from….. Please….don't take this away from people like my friend here…

thank-you
