Imagine living with chronic pain, addiction, neurological disorders, or insomnia and finding respite through a natural herb, kratom, and its most potent alkaloid, 7-Hydroxy-Mitragynine. This is not a wild fantasy, but a life-altering reality for many individuals in our community. Yet, this provision of natural comfort is now on the brink of extermination due to the proposed HB 1489.

7-Hydroxy-Mitragynine, found in the kratom plant, has been a beacon of hope for people living with pain. It also provides a means of living a normal life for those suffering from opiate use disorder, without further damaging their brain. Its benefits far outweigh the risks, contrary to the fear-mongering that unfortunately surrounds this substance.

HB 1489 is an attempt by a corporation to monopolize the Kratom industry under the guise of public health. However, allowing this to happen would only restrict access to this life-saving resource for many who need it the most.

Please help those who have gained so much from the use of kratom and 7-Hydroxy-Mitragynine. Let us not allow a single entity's profit motives to remove this vital resource. Stand with us in opposing HB 1489 and ensuring the continuity of these much-needed natural resources. Sign this petition to voice your opposition against HB 1489.
