Kratom has been incredibly helpful for improving my back pain and allowed me to easily stop taking the highly addictive pain killers that I had to use for the past twelve years. I know that pharmaceutical companies are trying to make medications from its alkaloids because it does not have the same risks of addiction and respiratory depression as typical opiate pain killers, but they are still trying to ban the natural form of the plant. What can we do to help keep this extremely useful plant from being taken away from us?

I have some speculation of my own that Kratom could also be a threat to the rehab industry that is huge in Florida. That is just going on my own experience with how easy it made it for me to completely stop my 12 year need for opiate pain medication for a back injury and failed surgery.

I agree that some oversight for quality testing would be a good thing, but why do you think the representative in Florida is continually fighting to make it Schedule 1 for the general public but specifically wants to leave an opening for the FDA even though the state has already determined that Kratom is no threat to public safety? Do you think that if it is made a Schedule 1 substance that the public would ever be allowed to purchase it in its cheap and natural form again?

Thanks for your replies.

That should be proof enough for anyone.
