Kratom helps me lead a productive life. I am an otherwise completely normal and boring executive at a fortune 200 company. unfortunately, I suffer from debilitating back pain. My doctor in the past has prescribed highly addictive opioids to treat my illness. This was somewhat effective, although addictive, and changes in legislation here have made these drugs more difficult to obtain. It’s also again, of course unsafe and addictive. Kratom provides me with a wonderful option to addictive prescription opioids. I am able to take it several times a day and it helps immensely with my pain. Again, I’m perfectly normal and boring, I’m not addicted to Kratom. I’m not strung out. I am a highly productive parent and employee. Taking Kratom away will force me to try to turn to much less safe alternatives.  Alrwenatives that have been proven to lead to addiction. I’ve taken Kratom safely for over seven years, under the advice and supervision of my physician by the way. Please don’t take this away.
