Kratom is a natural plant and can have plenty of natural benefits, just do the research! It’s much safer than alcohol and even marijuana, both of which are legal. Kratom is good unless used with other drugs, all of which illegal. Like anything, it needs to be used in moderation, but even then it’s actually impossible to overdose. Be adults and put your emotions aside. Understand the usefulness of this plant rather than listening to what opinionated people have to say about it. I’m not even a kratom user, but did in fact use it a few times after having the surgery to remove my wisdom teeth. It made me feel way better than the pain meds given by the doctor, and was much more effective. I didn’t go through withdrawals or anything. Not only that, but it can be used to help get people off of opioids, which is a huge problem in communities throughout Virginia.
