Repeal the ban on Kratom


Repeal the ban on Kratom
The Issue
Kratom is a natural, non-addictive herb which has been used safely by natives of southeast Asia for thousands of years. It has gained popularity in the rest of the world recently.
It is used as a replacement for dangerous and sometimes addictive medicines prescribed for the treatment of pain, anxiety, depression and many other ailments.
Contrary to the hype perpetrated by the media, kratom is NOT addictive. It is no more habit forming than coffee. It is safe. It is used daily by thousands of people, with no ill effect.
Kratom was banned in Tennessee in 2013, cutting the supply to the Tennesseans who depended on this natural treatment. The people want their kratom back.
