Please understand that without kratom I would be dependant upon pain killers for the rest of my life. I was hit by a car at age 8 and that left me with numerous surgeries and knees dislocations my entire life.

Kratom is just a leaf from a tree in southeast Asia and does not pose a threat to anyone.

We used to use these plants and herbs for healing before pharmaceuticals came along.

Our ancestors relied on understanding plants and herbs for healing and I prefer to control my symptoms naturally.

I'm sure I speak for many others who use kratom to help themselves naturally.

Please don't make kratom a schedule 1.

We made that mistake in 1937 with cannabis and now we see medicinal uses for that plant.

Let's keep the kratom research moving forward and not stop learning about the plants God put here for us.

Thank you for you're time.
