On May 10th, 2016 a bill (SB226) was signed that made Kratom (mitragyna speciosa) a schedule 1 controlled substance in the state of Alabama. Kratom is an all-natural herb and has not been involved in any deaths when taken by itself. It is a natural pain-reliever and anti-depressant that has been used for centuries in Southeast Asia and for about 20 years in North America as an alternative to the many dangerous chemical drugs pushed on people by Big Pharma, drugs that kill tens of thousands of Americans every year. Adults should have the right to choose natural medicine. Join us in asking the Alabama State House of Representatives and the Alabama State Senate to repeal the ban on this miracle herb.
