I use Kratom for pain management. I had a bad reaction to opiates and without Kratom my work would be severely affected. I manage my doses well and can easily wean myself off not like opiates.
I am a 56 year old who suffers from depression, anxiety, arthritis, back pain, and I have a cuboid sublixation in my right ankle. After an accident left me unable to work 12 years ago, and subsequently losing my insurance, I began drinking heavily from morning to night, as it was the only way to deal with the pain. I could never imagine having a normal and productive life until my son passed away and I was ready to end my life. A dear Christian friend of mine introduced me to this precious leaf. Like millions of other people who've found Kratom, I have been saved from that miserable existence! I am happy to announce that I am clean and sober! I rejoined the workforce fulltime 3 years ago. Not only do I have a full time job at a retirement community, I also have 2 part-time jobs! And I love my life! If kratom is banned 10-15 million people who now take this life saving leaf will be devastated. Worse case, there will be an increase in suicides and overdoses, as there have been in other banned cities. Please follow the science before you make a grave decision! What you need is the KCPA, that will ensure that kratom consumers will only have safe products available to them, from vendors who test their products and follow AKA guidelines.
Kratom has been a true blessing in my life. Please don’t make something that is 100% natural and helping sooo many Americans Illegal. This would do so much more harm then good.
I'msigning because I have muscular dystrophy..i was using a wherlchair... couldn't shower on my own...had to have constant supervision..kratom has allowed me to walk...still use my Walker and cane..but can now shower alone...fix a meal and enjoy my family. I was mostly bedridden...but because I came off of 13 addictive and dangerous drugs from pharmaceutical meds. I was a zombie from them. Please consider the KCPA to keep kratom clean and unadulterated for the millions who suffer daily. Follow the science.
