I have been using Kratom for years to help with anxiety and GI issues. If you use an archaic method to schedule kratom it will be sold on a black market and it makes it unsafe for consumers. Empirical evidence shows that a ban on a substance by the government does nothing but create criminals out of normal citizens. Alcohol is far more dangerous than Kratom ever thought to be. Please use logic and read all of the articles. Don’t let someone guide you without your proper research.
