"I am a combat vet with PTSD and chronic pain. The VA will not give anything for my pain so Kratom helps a bit with that and my mood/anxiety. But for the grace of God… and Kratom, I am still alive. It has been a blessing. I have not had to turn to illegal drugs for pain management and have limited the amount of Rx meds that the VA pushes on you. These meds are far more toxic than Kratom.“

"I can't overstate how kratom has been a Godsend for me and now I can no longer consume it. I've struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life and at one point, found myself addicted to pharmaceutical anti-anxiety medication. I discovered the natural herb kratom. It has helped me tremendously. The option to consume it has been taken away from me since moving to Indiana. Please reassess this unfair ban on this very beneficial herb."

"Kratom has changed my life for the better. I have dealt with years of knee pain since I was a teenager that OTC drugs just never helped. Going to the doctor and getting prescribed medications that did not help and had worse side effects than what I originally went in for. Once I found Kratom and seen how well it helped me in my daily life, it changed everything. Kratom has helped me get my life back. I can be active and do the things I love to do. This is the same story for many Hoosiers in the state, but we unfortunately cannot have access to this amazing plant. Please lift the ban so it can help others get their life back. So, we can have access to pure, unadulterated kratom from a trusted vendor and not some other source that may have been adulterated. This ban is doing way more harm for the state, and it needs to end."
