Enough is enough, here we have, yet again, people attempting to ban a plant that is closely related to the coffee plant because it cuts into businesses in the pharmaceutical industries pockets. The American people are raped on a daily basis of their hard earned money by corporations and pharmaceutical companies alike. Here, kratom is a plant that helps millions of people cope with a myriad of issues from pain to mental health issues, and it does so completely natural. Millions of Americans don't want to turn expensive pharmaceuticals and synthetic drugs to help with this, therefore taking money out of the pockets of big business. So what happens? Here comes the pharmaceutical industry and members trying to take that away from the people that Kratom helps. They come with scary propaganda that is used much in the same way that the alcohol industry and it's advocates used to criminalize marijuana decades ago. People that have no experience with kratom, who have never used it, bend and twist erroneous statistics to suit there goal. They will cry wolf that people have died from kratom and other tales. Well, Tylenol has killed people too, probably many times more than kratom. Is the pharmaceutical industry moving to ban Tylenol? No, because it's a money maker for them. This has got to stop. Stop taking away from the American people and siding with those that are seeking profit. Banning kratom is unnecessary and harmful to the public.  Not only does it help millions with their passion and mental health, it has also allowed numerous to stop using opiate medications and allowed them to break the cycle of addiction. Addiction that cab lead people to crime to get the means for their next fix. They don't need to rob, steal, or kill in order to get their hardcore opiates, because they have a natural plant that takes their withdrawals away while they detox from the opiates. Why ban this natural plant that has helped so many? Please close the matter on banning it.
