Hello

i I am a resident of VA and requesting the VA govt to keep Kratom legal in VA.

i suffer from severe upper and lower back pain including pain in my hips.  Kratom alllows me to keep the pain at bay. Kratom is a derivative of the coffee plant and harmless.  It is a great pain reliever and far better than any dangerous medicines. as a resident and taxpayer in Virginia I am distressed that the uneducated politicians are trying to ban Kratom.  You are violating my rights as a citizen and I am requesting you to reconsider and educate yourselves.  I am available to present my case if you have a hearing for citizens.  Kratom is a coffee plant derivative and is the best medicine for severe body pain.  I have it with Tea daily and allows me to control my pain.  Please invest funds on researching this medicine that is a life saver.  My worry is that our uneducated politicians are getting bribed by the Pharmaceutical Industry and hence trying to ban kratom and thereby introduce chemical medicines that harm the human body.

thank you for considering what I wrote and please don’t disfranchise residents of Virginia.  I feel strongly about this matter as a taxpayer and want the corrupt politicians investigated who are trying to ban Kratom here in VA
