Kratom should be kept legal. It is the only thing that has had a noticeable and beneficial effect for my medication-resistant anxiety and depression, and my chronic pain I have had for over a decade. When doctors could not help me, kratom did. I have had zero negative side effects in the last 8 years when taking it, and no negative health effects have been observed from my doctor. Stop this nonsense and listen to the people that it has helped. I am from Missouri, but I am commenting because I do not want banning kratom to become the norm throughout more US states. Some people like me really need the help that kratom provides.
