I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS
 

I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Osteoarthritis, Degenerate Disc Disease throughout my entire spine, Spondylitis, Bursitis, Neuropathy, Nerve Damage, Herniated and bulging discs throughout my entire spine, etc etc. After being poly drugged for many years, I began looking for natural supplements for chronic pain and found Kratom. I wouldn't have survived getting off over 12 prescription meds without it!! It helps my withdrawals as well as my pain, and I take raw leaf powder that hasn't been adulterated and has been third party lab tested for contamination, heavy metals, etc. There is no scientific evidence of Kratom in its natural form of being dangerous. Please keep it legal!! People are dying every day from drugs, and Kratom isn't a drug... it's a plant that has so many benefits without the awful side effects and withdrawals from pharmaceuticals. 

 

My husband and I are currently looking for our retirement home in Virginia. This will be a huge game changer if Kratom is no longer legal.
