Apparently, Ronald Dancer is pushing a bill that will make Kratom illegal in New Jersey. This is another example of people being uninformed about the true potential of this miraculous plant. Dancer claims that Kratom produces effects similar to Heroin and that use can cause addiction and paranoid delusions. Dancer, as well as many other politicians, are also under the impression that Kratom will become the next drug epidemic when in reality Kratom may be our only safe and natural alternative to helping people beat there current opioid addictions and manage mild pain without having to take dangerous and potent synthetic opioids such as Percoset and Oxycontin. (The REAL perpetrators of the our current opioid epidemic).Kratom is being grouped in with synthetic designer drugs like K2 and Spice in the minds of many people, when in reality it couldn't be more different. So, let's all voice our opinions, and utilize our freedom as Americans to keep Kratom legal in New Jersey and hopefully we can go on to fund unbiased, independent studies of Kratom in the near future so that all will know of the benefits of this wonderful plant.
