We, the undersigned, believe that mitragyna speciosa (commonly known as kratom) is an immensely beneficial herb for health and wellbeing and that its use should not be restricted.

Richard Caudill United States
I have suffered from tension headaches since my car accident. The only thing that has helped my pain other than prescription pain medication is kratom. I get pain relief without all of the unwanted side effects.

I take Kratom to relax instead of drinking alchohol. I have bleeding ulcers in my stomach and therefore find alcohol damaging. Its nice to finaly find a safe and legal alternative. I hope it stays that way.
Christopher Vescio United States
Screw you "Big Pharma". Anytime anything natural works, Big Pharma has to come down and try and squash it. Get w/the program people, these people are not here to help, neither is the FDA.
Richard Harman United States
All natural, all legal!

Kratom is a wonderful, natural PLANT. Making it illegal is like slapping God in the face for creating it in the first place.

Keep those megalomaniacal bastards out of our lives I don't need a beauricrat's approval, nor do I acknowledge or care to follow his/her unrightful opinion on what I should consume, it is completely laughable to think that it would be acceptable to obey
Jae Johnson England
Kratom has helped to elevate my depression and chronic pain. I have also found it a far better alternative to prescription pain killers that have been thrown at me without caution.
William Lee United States
 
Rick Adams USA
Please keep this herb legal. I have seen it save so many lives and I've seen pain meds destroy twice as many. It works. I realize there are risks but lets be realistic. They are a fraction of the alternative. Thanks
Nimmervoll Thomas Austria
It helps me with my depression.

Kratom is helping me with the chronic depression that started in my early childhood. It helps me stay away from really dangerous drugs.

Iam still researching and I am not hooked on any thing, however preferring natural remedies-Yahs' Meds. I am looking for a viable herb that used responsibly will replace this vicodin prescribed for lumbar disc and sciatic nerve pain.
Edward Stites R.T. USA
Seems like "Society" is a bit arbitrary as to what Is "Safe and Acceptable" and what is "Dangerous" regardless of the actual facts as to how compounds affect the Human Body.

Yet another attempt by the psychopaths to make a miracle tree/plant of nature "illegal" One that is a much safer/effective solution to a myriad of physical and mental health ailments vs the highly sythetic drugs from the over diagnosed big pharma regime.
Sean Hadden United States
If nature allows it to grow out of the ground, it's legal, period.
Kristie Gore USA
I am a 42 year old woman who is on many prescription drugs and does not partake in any illegal drugs. Kratom is the only thing that has lessened my chronic pain and lethargy enough to get out of bed and interact with my family and children again!

We should ban most of the pharmaceuticals that creates more problems than it solves.
Cheyne Eaddy United States
Keep it legal!
Evan Charles Sweeney United States
Kratom comes from the same tree as coffee. That is like making coffee illegal. Medication are addictive and do not work. This herb makes e very positive, socially outgoing without any intoxication at all. We need this kratom. We do not need painkillers.

This herb is the sole reason I was able to quit heroin. Because I was able to get clean I was able to move in off the streets and find a job. I no longer am a burden on society but am now a functioning member of society

Daniel Carter United States of America
Kratom is an herbal remedy helping many people quit using illegal drugs. Making kratom illegal will hurt people, it would not HELP anyone. In a country over run with drug addiction we need all the natural remedies we can get!!!
Evan Schmidt United States
Kratom is not hurting anyone, including it's users! Keep Kratom legal to continue to improve the quality of life for many!
Harold L Nicol United States
I urge all legislators to study the scientific and cultural effects of kratom and enlighten themselves as to its benefits. As a society, we do not need to incur the egregious costs of prohibiting a drug that has a history of relatively safe use. Thank you.
Dawn Acuna US
A small dose when my IBD flares has helped greatly. Instead of curling up in pain I can actually get on with my day with out adverse side effects. The drug companies aren't making money; that's the motive to ban.

Kratom helps me to battle anxiety. It is important to keep this herb legal for the many benefits it offers to those suffering.
Robert Thomas Martin  
 
Markus Tiefert USA

My life is hell. I would kill myself immediatly if I thought it would help relieve my suffering. Kratom has helped me have a few moments in my life that are somewhat tolerable.
Every other drug, prescribed by a doctor or not, just caused bad side effects or a migraine headache.
Wayne Miller United States
Please keep kratom legal. This herb has helped me with my anxiety and depression when all prescribed drugs had awful side effects.

This is mild, herbal medicine. If Kratom is made illegal, I will have to go back to using heavy narcotics and anti-depressants. Kratom has saved my life. Please do not make it illegal.
Bartolome Precio US
Kratom is a very benign, versatile plant which offers relief from my pain, stress, and ADD without the need for harmful and addictive legal pharmaceuticals which are easy to obtain and exponentially worse for one's health than this sacred leaf.
Melissa Leach US
This is a harmless herb that has helped so many people, including myself with everything from depression and anxiety to addiction - where no other medications have helped (and believe me I have tried them all!) It has been demonized by uneducated people.
Eddy McGuire United States
The bottom line is Kratom has been the ONLY thing that has worked for my anxiety and our governments cannot take Kratom away to feed their lobbyists and pharmaceutical interests. Freedom. Don't take it away.

This herb has helped me tremendously; and anyone attempting to take it away is by default rendered malicious.
Bradley Standish England
It is ridiculous to ban a herb without fully understanding what it means and what it does.
James Robert Conry United States
Along with valerian root, kava kava, and many other herbs used to heal, kratom is just like these herbs, but the time it came out around the time of spice/K2 and bath salts, it got put on the same DEA watch list and ever since then it's been stigmatized.
Brent Vaughn USA
Prove to me that Big-Pharma does not run this country, let it be!

After 3 back surgeries and Brain Surgery to remove an AVM, Kratom is the only thing that helps with my pain and calms me at the same time.

Stop making nature illegal and instead teach the public how to make wise choices. Prohibition never works, and it never will.
Richard jimenez united states of oppression
I use kratom medicinally. Has potential to treat many addictions including alcoholism, opiate addiction, over eating , ADHD, anxiety, and is an effective natural pain reliever. It is the only thing that helps with my severe arthritis and fibromyalgia pain
Steven Bramante United States
 
Andrew Benedict USA
Kratom is a wonderful herb. It's relaxing but it's claims about recreational use are over blown from legal high vendors. Amazing alternative to pharmaceutics and alcohol. People should be allowed to choose what that put in their body!
Conrad Pierce United States
A very safe plant that is not something to be feared but understood and kept legal.

I would be very unhappy if Kratom was made illegal, it keeps my husband happy and full of energy. Without it he just sits on the couch all day watching movies. Thanks to Kratom we are both happy and can maintain a daily life without counting on pain pills

I have used kratom consistently for the past 5 years and have done so responsibly and safely. This leaf has no potential to harm.
Chris M Cann United States
This natural therapy deserves to be protected from
corporate sycophants bent on furthering their protectionist pocketbook by restricting Kratoms use so the only choice is prescription chemicals.

Help humanity progress, fix the economy, treat mental issues, get off RX and street drugs, promote environmentalism all with the reasonable use of mildly psychoactive herbs such as kratom!

I use this herb for my menopause symptoms and Migraines, its the alternative to hard core pain relief, with no side effects. It keeps me sane, I just love being able to have a natural alternative.

after organ failure i had horrible pain and was unable to motivate myself, i tried kratom because of the pain blocking effects (i could not take NSAIDs because of their effects on the liver/kidneys). withoput kratom i would have been on disability.
Kevin Disher Canada
Kratom is much too valuable a medicine to be restricted especially with such a low side effects profile
AUTUMN KLINE United States
My husband uses it for pain and anxiety. He was able to stop his prescription for opiates and anti-anxiety medication. For years my husband was just a lump on a log due to the opiates... I FINALLY have my husband back! Thank you to this plant :-)
