Good day Major and members of the board,
 My name is John Barnett and I live in Arlington Heights. I just wanted to share my experience with Kratom. I have been using Kratom for around 10 years and it has helped me immensely with my PTSD.
I have used it safely and have never had any adverse reactions to it. It is an herb that the American Kratom Society and many physicians have looked at and found this Herb to be very beneficial to people. I hope you do not ban this product because this is helping millions of people across the United States just like me. This Herb, even when taking in large quantities have never caused any kind of overdose or medical issues. This is not a drug, but a very mild anti-anxiety like pain reducing Herb. Please consider this when you make a decision.

Thanks, John B
