Please do not ban kratom
 

Hello, a loved one in my life has used kratom responsibly for years and it has been an enormous benefit to them in helping alleviate symptoms related to PTSD and pain. They are not "high" or intoxicated in any way when they use kratom--they are themselves again, like how they were before the accident they survived. Please do not take this away, it saves lives. I support regulation like age limits and testing to ensure there are no adulterants or contamination but an outright ban will hurt families and make others turn to hard drugs. Please do not do this!
