Kratom is quickly becoming one of the safest and most effective tools that nature has for relieving the symptoms of opiate addiction/withdrawal, pain management & certain mood disorders.   When taken in it's pure, unaltered form it has no rival in the recovery & pain space.  Veterans, trauma survivors and many others are finding relief, peace and hope with the alkaloids in this plant.  It does NOT cause overdose or respiratory depression that opioids can cause and has no known toxic levels.  Even the FDA has been unable to schedule this plant.  Kratom is an important tool to have in these difficult times.  Lab tested, regulated Kratom that is available to those over the age of 18 has the potential to change outcomes and lives.  Banning/scheduling this plant would be a horrible mistake and cause immeasurable harm.
