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
