Kratom saved me from relapse, and continues to relieve pain
 

I was a health care professional when I became injured severely 15 years ago.  After 5 years of prescriptions for 30 mg/day, I quit oxycodone.  But cravings went on for months.  I found both pain relief and relief from cravings with a half tsp of kratom each day.  This is a solution to your doctors failed legacy of creating addicts across Virginia. I use it only  in winter months now to help with arthritis.  Don't make me go to another state to get it.  Keep Virginia's freedoms.  Make it 18 years or 21 years old to buy, but don't elevate it to the drug schedules.  That means we can't get it.  Let's move Virginia forward, not backward.
