From 2001 to 2015 I was addicted to painkillers. over that. of time my addiction became more and more severe. Kratom helped me come off of pills. No more was I searching every day for relief. I now had something safer and accessable to manage my pain.

A kratom ban would completely take that away. I would be forced to find it through less reputable means from out of state or country. And make no mistake, I would completely disregard any law that said I couldn't. Because going back to painkillers would be a literal death sentence. And if that's the only option ai have I'd much rather just speed up the process and do it myself, which honestly seems like what our state officials want for us anyway.

I would rather die than to be forced back into addiction because of ignorant lawmakers.
