Banning Kratom would be against the best interest of the American people. If you fear it because you don't know it, put it in research trials to see how to best use it safely and effectively. When used correctly, Kratom can change peoples lives for the better. Kratom completely saved me from becoming a full blown alcoholic, and I don't know where I'd be today had I not have it. I don't even still take it regularly, because I don't need it anymore. It did it's job to help me as any medicine does and I'm so much better off because of it.
