Kratom has saved many lives. please don't ban it.
 

About 10 years ago I was in so much pain due to injuries. I would try anything for relief. Kratom was suggested. I did some research on it and ordered a little on the internet. I was skeptical but figured it couldn't hurt. It took a few days to dial in but I found what works for me. I couldn't be happier. something was finally working and it wasn't illegal. if Kratom is banned a lot of people including myself will go back to a life of pain and misery. I fear the worst if that happens. I can't deal with the pain I was in. Narcotics was the only choice back then and I was worried about the addiction effect of that. Dealing with pain is a rough road. Many people will lose their will without Kratom. please don't ban it. if anything it needs to be studied and observed.
