  1. Kratom is not dangerous, it’s not hard to figure out who the fda has they’re best interest for ( pharma???) Kratom does not get you high. It does provide some energy and pain relief. I’ve been consuming kratom for almost 3 yrs now and have never been healthiest 54 yes of age. It’s full of antioxidants and has many other beneficial alkaloids in the leaf. Don’t fall for fda’s propaganda

  2. Kratom heals hearts, minds, and souls. It’s been used for centuries for a magnitude of purposes in SE Asia and is slowing finding its place in Western culture. It is a shame that lobbying pharma companies are trying to take down such an amazing alternative
