I am recently a disabled veteran. I served almost eleven years in the US Navy, much of the time on naval warships and deployed across the world. Recently, I have become a disabled veteran, and honorably left the Navy with ailments I've endured during my service to this country. My wife and I deal with chronic pain every day of our lives. This plant, in raw form, has shown a great deal of impact in the betterment of our lives. Prohibition is not a solution and would negatively impact over 1 million users nationwide. 

I do not support the Board of Pharmacy Petition "Addition of kratom to Schedule I."
