In memory of my son, Josiah, who died from mitragynine toxicity (kratom). Neither he or we, his parents, had a clue how dangerous this substance can be but now we know that thousands have died as a result. Please make a change to prevent other families getting that horrible knock on the door.
David supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesI also lost my son Johnny last April to Kratom. A deadly seizure from Kratom toxicity took his life. This garbage needs to be banned immediately to save lives. This poison is not intended for human consumption
Jennifer supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesMy son Johnny 27 passed in April from Kratom. It's highly addictive and the withdrawal is massive. This poison needs banned nationwide.
Jennifer supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesI started using kratom about 7 years ago and almost immediately lost control and then I discovered the extracts and feel free and it just absolutely spiraled out of control it has costed me my career my health and so much more how this product made it past the FDA and DEA I don't know but it needs to be stopped people point out the medicinal properties of it if that's the case then schedule it so it can be used as prescribed by a physician do not attempt to control your own you will lose control everybody is different but if you have any sort of addictive personality stay away stay far far away from kratom it will take everything
Pat supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesMy son died in April of this year due to kratom. He was only 32. He did not use illegial drugs, drink, or smoke....even pot. He was healthy. He was wade fishing in waste deep water, collapsed and drowned. Toxicology showed a mitragynine level of 1219ng/ml.
He left behind a 10 year old daughter and many people who loved him. I miss him deeply
Susan supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesMy son Dalen Joshua Brinkman died from Kratom overdose March 22, 2017 forever 25. He didn’t want to die. I talked with him just the night before and we talked about the future and what it looked like. He was gone the next morning.
Susie supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesThis stuff is powerful and addicting. It hurt my physical and mental health. The withdrawal is brutal and it’s marketed like it’s coffee. I know of people who have to take a dose every four hours to not go into withdrawal, others who had to seizures, others who spent 400$ a week on it, and folks who have died, from an overdose. When will the powers that be, wake up and get a terrible substance off the shelves of gas stations and vape shops. You’re going to see an increase in deaths. Please listen to us that have been there. Change the law! Thanks, Tracey Hendershot
Tracey supported: Stop the Sale of Kratom in the United States - A Federal Ban to Save LivesOur son died from Kratom in January of this year. He used it for his anxiety and depression thinking it was a natural substance that would help. He had nothing else in his system. He was 37 years old.
