Keep Kratom Legal & regulate it
 

I use kratom for my plantar fasciitis so I can walk on really bad days. I don't use it every day. It's not addictive.  I only take 1tsp or less of pure unadulterated kratom. It feels like taking an advil but safer for your stomach & liver.  It gives me energy & puts me in a good mood. No more anxiety.  Doesn't impare judgment. I can still drive a car & get so many activities done that I normally couldn't from being in pain. I only buy my kratom from approved vendors who 3rd party tests their kratom. You can find that list on AKA.com.

Kratom is not a drug. It's a plant & is part of the coffee family. It is naturally made from God to help us. It helps millions survive daily pain. Kids would not use kratom because it tastes nasty & does not get you high at all. Kratom should be a choice by all Americans.  Just like Alcohol is regulated.  So should kratom. Do not make criminals out of us who are in pain & kratom is the only thing that can help us. Without kratom you will kill millions because they will resort back to real drugs & opioids. You should be more worried about fentenyl & our CDC & FDA. Medical  malpractice kills over $250k year.  Pure unadulterated kratom does not kill.  Please regulate the gas stations extracts & other false things claiming to be kratom. Leave our kratom alone. Join Texas & keep kratom legal. Thank you
