kratom has saved my life
 

Please read the facts! Kratom is an extremely useful & safe plant. Without kratom, I wouldn't have the "life" I have now. I was living in a nursing home at age 36 & have chronic pain daily. I didn't want to go down the opioid path & kratom had helped me get a "life" again. Otherwise, I was in too much pain to do anything or be useful to anyone. It was a sad & frankly, suicidal condition I was in because I could barely move! Kratom has literally saved my life & has given me a life worth living again. Opiods couldn't of done for me what Kratom, when properly used, has done for me.

Please read all the facts & listen to all sides with an open mind & heart. The removal of Kratom would revert people with chronic pain either back to their old lives or they'll have to resort to opioid use, which we all know is a dangerous & slippery slope. Kratom is NOT like that whatsoever. Please help preserve the lives of the people like me that use this plant in order to live and be a contributing member of society.
