This attempt to support and continue the stranglehold that Big Pharma (who is responsible for the yearly deaths of over 70,000 people by their overproduction of the poison Fentanyl) has over your suffering constituents is despicable.
You took an oath to support the best interests of your fellow human beings, not to make policy that only benefits the financial interests of the evil synthetic drug producing empire.
Kratom, made by God, not by men in laboratories, has saved the lives of many of my friends and myself, and allows us to lead normal healthy lives.
Please do the right thing and remove this misguided and misinformed rule and all other attempts to prevent the citizens of the great Commonwealth of Virginia from their ability to have access to this life giving plant, Kratom and all the alkaloids it naturally contains.
Thank you,
Carl Seebok
