Kratom saved my life and continues to
 

it requires personal responsibility and kratom isn’t perfect by any means but for those who need it it’s life changing, myself included.   If the argument is that it’s potentially habit forming and people have died from taking it then we need all alcoholic beverages, cigarettes and candy out of every store. The safety profile of kratom next to alcohol - it’s not even close and we aren’t sitting here talking about a potential ban on alcohol. 

We all know this is about profit. Profit over people’s lives. Please do the right thing and regulate kratom requiring it to be lab tested etc. do not take this medicine away from the veterans, those in chronic pain and the mentally ill. That’s who uses it.
