Kratom has been enormously helpful; criminalization will help nothing and nobody.
 

Please keep this plant legal. It is a natural alternative to much more dangerous medications. Consumption does not result in loss of bodily control, does not cause violence, does not result even in significant intoxication. Criminalizing it will help nothing and will negatively impact a huge number of people who are responsibly managing pain with a SAFER alternative to prescription medication.
