So, you take pain meds away from the veterans first. Then you take it away from people on SSI. Then you take it away from people on Medicare and that are disabled and sick. Kratom helps some people. It’s an extremely week pain medication but stronger then taking Acetaminophen and ibuprofen mixed. But now you are here TRYING to make it a scheduled drug & therefore EVEN MORE PEOPLE WILL LOSE their pain care?!!! Are you serious? And then you wonder why in this country we have so many people committing suicide or turning to the streets & getting poisoned from China and Mexico w/ street drugs!!! You have got to be smarter than this!! What do you honestly expect to happen?!! Unless you just want us all dead?!! If that’s the case, we would have WAY MORE RESPECT if you just came out & said that to us! PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO & NOT BE SO IGNORANT?!! For the love of God… it’s a plant in the coffee family. Why don’t you actually do something to help everyone in pain instead of trying to kill all of us? Let the people that are suffering terribly take the medications & plants God put on this earth to help us!! Because guess what? You or someone you love are only one second away from getting into an accident or getting a extremely painful disease… and there will be no help for you. We are in a 3rd world country at this point when it comes to this & but no one is immune… you’ll be WISHING you had something to help you to live. To eat. To sleep. To spend time with yr loved ones. You’ll be WISHING you weren’t living in a bed 23.75/7, holding yr breath & yr pee because its so hard to get out of bed. PLEASE BE SMART w/ the decisions you’re about to make? Have a heart & soul. God bless you! ??????????‍??
