I almost fell into the deadly trap of Opiate addiction after I had a Surgery and they prescribed Norcos. I found Kratom two years ago and it saved my life. Pure Unadulterated Kratom is safe. The stuff you buy at gas station s and smoke shoppes definitely need regulation or a ban because those are ADULTERATED and can be dangerous. It's my pain management and without it, I live in a world of hurt.oleasw follow the science and don't just vote yes in a ban. Many people in the state of Virginia will die without it and nobody wants to live with that in their conscience
