"Former US ARMY and CPD, Kratom has helped me with insomnia when other things didn’t, red vein Bali is the type I have used. On and off I have had bouts of insomnia for years and I find it takes very little to work and works reliably."

"I am a former CNA. I was injured on the job while trying to catch a falling resident. I tore my meniscus. I also have fibromyalgia, arthritis, and carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been using kratom for 5 years now to manage my medical issues. It's been, quite literally, life changing - I can actually do so many things I couldn't manage before. I still have bad days, but kratom has made it possible to still care for my family and manage the tasks I need to do every day. Please consider signing the Kratom Consumer Protection Act. Please don't just take it away from folks who need it.”

"My name is Brian, I served in the Army Reserves from 1997-2004. Was in a Combat Engineer unit. We made a lot of things go boom and ran the heck outta heavy equipment. Did a lot of PT over those years. The pain in my knees in part caused me to use opiates. Like a lot of people I got addicted to the pills. Choose to quit pills in 2014. Have used Kratom on a daily basis since then and never had a problem, even if I don't have it. Please, this is the worse opioid epidemic in history. Please don't take away something that is not highly addictive, doesn’t slow the respiratory rate , and something that is almost impossible to OD from. This is all I feel safe taking in 10 years no problem Help me keep it that way please!
