Due to the loss of my only child, Joseph Lumbrazo at the age of 38, who was poisoned by the substance Kratom, I have vowed to elevate the voices of those who have been adversely affected by Kratom and to advocate for this substance to scheduled as a controlled substance.

Joseph Lumbrazo, 38, was a hard working man who owned a business to help provide for his 3 sons. Joe was upstanding citizens and only lived to make sure that his family was provided for.

Joseph, like many others, turned to Kratom to help with energy because his work schedule he was demanding, draining and very difficult. After trying many holistic options, he found Kratom to be helpful. But with that positive effect, Kratom also comes with very potentially dangerous side effects. One of which is seizures.   With ultimate outcome of dying from the toxicity of Kratom.

Kratom is known for its healing qualities but usually doesn’t come with any warning labels or educational information. At least his didn’t come with those additions.

Let’s ban together and demand that Kratom be scheduled as a controlled substance, demand that it come with truthful warning labels and educational information.
