DO NOT BAN KRATOM
 

Hello,

I have been a consumer since 2015. I have never had any issues arise from Kratom use. In fact, I am able to walk without the assistance of a cane. I used to be bedridden with a stomach suffering bleeds from NSAIDs. I cannot use opiates or NSAIDs as I am allergic to them and the last two gave me stomach bleeds.

I almost lost two siblings to fentanyl. Kratom has saved their lives. My sister is a terrific mother and has been sober for years! I have lost a brother to fentanyl which Kratom could have saved his life, too. 

Please, I beg of you- scheduling Kratom is going to cause way more deaths. Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction as I and others see it. I am a fentanyl awareness activist and Kratom advocate. I have seen myself how it transforms all walks of life. Kratom truly saves!

Id be glad to comment further and have a meeting with whoever would be willing. I'd be glad to go into great detail. 

If Kratom is scheduled/banned, our nation is going to have far more deaths and blood will be on the hands of those working to make Kratom illegal. Chronic pain patients will go to whatever lengths they need to, in order to function. I am a healthy 38 year old woman who would be bedbound from pain without this miraculous plant.

 

Respectfully yours,
