I am going to keep the short. I have used kratom for the last six years and it has given me my life back. From being addicted to prescription pills (benzos & opiates).  I now use this wonderful natural plant to keep me sober and help with my depression and anxiety , with little to no side effects please consider not banning this miraculous plant. It will do more harm to people than Kratom could ever do. if you need more information, look at all the studies that are coming out, including the one the World Health Organization did that proved Kratom is not as dangerous as people think and banning it would cause a surplus of problems and overdose increases!
