Amendment to 18VAC110-20-322 (Kratom)
 

I do NOT support Amendment 18VAC110-20-322. I believe everyone over the age  of 18 should have access to this supplement. I'm a chronic pain patient, and I was taking 180 oxys each money, along  with maximum gabapentin dosage and other muscle relaxers. I chose to get rid of all of those needs and try to manage my anxiety and pain with more natural methods.  I take moringa, adhwagndha and kratom daily to improve the quality of my life. I have been using kratom for 7 years. I have stopped and started without any withdrawals. I'm never impaired. I couldn't be in charge of my grandchildren when I was on oxy for pain. Now, my life is enhanced because I will no longer take synthetic opiates (oxys), when there is a wonderful natural plant that can allow me that freedom to be active in my grandchildren's lives. Before you vote on this, ask yourself if you are open enough to try kratom yourself before you vote. See for yourself that it doesn't produce a high or euphoria.
