Kratom
 

I have been a kratom consumer for over 17 years. I have never once felt that my health was jeopardized. On the contrary, I was prescribed opioids to deal with pain and fatigue. The opioids erased me. Kratom restored me. I take it daily. It’s disappointing that kratom consumption is being targeted. There have been extensive studies, including the University of Florida, that have deemed the leaf to be safe. Sadly, some have died while consuming kratom. A deep dive will tell those seeking truth, that other drugs were ingested. Other drugs were in the system   Please keep the leaf free.
