Help save lives and keep Kratom legal!
 

This is an all natural plant that is saving countless lives, please keep this legal!  Kratom has proven to help victims of the opioid epidemic to have an all natural and safe way to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and keep them off of opiates without the need for pharmaceutical companies alternatives which are often equally as addictive and deadly as the illegal drugs they claim to cure them of.  Having lost 2 family members to opiate addiction, if Kratom was readily available years ago I would still have them with me today.  People don't realize how important this truly is.  Methadone and other prescribed medication for treatment is just as addictive and deadly as the illegal drugs they are trying to get off of.  Please please please help save lives and keep this plant legal for the sake of our country and it's citizens.
