To Whom It May Concern,

I write to you today to implore you to not proceed with criminalizing kratom. Kratom should be adequately regulated, yes, but to ban it would be a major mistake. Research needs to be conducted unencumbered, too. And hundreds if not millions of Virginians and Americans use kratom responsibly. To deny them the right to use what's most beneficial to them is not just poor policy, but immoral as well. 

Please do not ban kratom. That'd be a mistake. Regulate it properly, but don't ban. 

Regards,

Connor B.
