Criminalizing Kratom is dangerous
 

Of course the board of pharmacy would want to criminalize Kratom and it should be taken into consideration why. Kratom can be abused like anything, but you have to take into account how many people it helps versus hurts because it helping people far outweighs any damage. It’s a natural plant that is less dangerous than anything else out there for pain and to criminalize it would be to turn a LOT of people to harder drugs. It doesn’t make sense for any legitimate reason, only greed of big PHARMA who is historically more dangerous and greedy than most if not all other groups of people. I have seen Kratom save lives.
