It is completely ridiculous to try and ban A PLANT that has been safely used for centuries in TRADITIONAL medicine. This is a tree in the coffee family, that has saved thousands and thousands of lives. People that cannot use pharmaceuticals because of allergies are able to use this plant and find substantial relief. People who were once addicted to heroin or pain pills are able to escape that bondage and live a regular life as a functioning member of society. I was once drug addicted and went to treatment 13 times, nothing was able to help me but this PLANT gave me my life back! Do not demonize this plant it is incredible and way more beneficial than any chemical drug that y’all could formulate. If banned you will only increase the number of people using harmful street drugs. Worry about the opioid epidemic and how you can help those people not how you can create more “criminals”. LEAVE THIS PLANT ALONE
