Kratom saved my life
 

I was addicted to narcotic pain medication for 2 years after a back injury. I decided to quit cold Turkey and just use Advil but I had withdrawal symptoms (cold sweats, lack of sleep, restlessness, etc.)

I turned to Kratom to ease my withdrawal symptoms. This plant saved my life. I was able to not only curb my withdrawal symptoms, but I’ve been able to dose down consistently over the last year to where I only need a small dose of Kratom at night to sleep. I no longer think about pain medication. When used correctly, this plant is a godsend and should be available to those who need it. Banning it is short sighted, impulsive and an attack on individual liberty.
