I am a regular consumer of Kratom and have been for 8 years. Kratom has helped me in many ways. I have a professional career, happy family, and exercise almost everyday all while using Kratom. This plant has been used for many years in other countries. I am for studying Kratom and the need for regulation. I believe the cases the FDA have brought concerning harm and not presented fairly and are exaggerated. Kratom does not equal fentanyl. It can cause dependence but many things can. People have a very hard time stopping SSRIs. Should we ban those?
