Kratom: Should The Herb Blamed For Numerous Deaths Be Banned
Kratom: Should the Herb Blamed for Numerous Deaths Be Banned?
I’m sick of Kratom being demonized and blamed for deaths when I haven’t seen toxicology reports to prove anything. I know people who’ve used it for decades, and they can stop taking it if they feel okay. Pharmaceutical companies are afraid they’ll lose money because this is available in most states, but not all. They’ll attack anything that keeps them from getting richer. If a natural herb provides pain relief to millions, I am all for it.
DEA Feels Backlash From Plans To Ban Kratom Plant
I don’t think the DEA thought this through. Their statistics keep changing and quite frankly, are low by most people’s standards. There are people DYING from various forms of chronic pain because pain management clinics are taking away their medicine and doctors are afraid to prescribe the medicine they’ve responsibly taken from day one. This is a war for pharmaceutical companies and has NOTHING to do with stats or pain patients. They’re fighting the wrong battle here. By taking away the methods in which we help ourselves, you are increasing the suicide rate in this country, nothing more. The lawsuits that will stem from their choices will be deafening. The outcry from healthy people should be just as loud as ours.
DEA Argues That Public Comment Is Unnecessary Before Kratom Ban
Kratom shouldn’t be banned. It’s not addictive. People with pain matter, and their quality of life is important.
