  • Angela from Tennessee

    "I have been taking Kratom for about 6 years for my arthritis and also my mental health so I can actually have a life and not hurt…people should have the choice to choose a natural plant over taking prescription drugs, please don’t ban Kratom!!"

  • Jeff from Tennessee

    "I fought addiction for over 25 years.. Get clean, relapse, get clean, relapse..Been to rehab 5 times..About lost everything, including my family and my life.. Overdosed 3 times.. A true war in my own life. I discovered kratom a few years ago and with it I found sobriety for years now. Living a normal life, holding down the same job, paying bills and taking care of my family. Kratom saves lives and saved mine 100%. It's helping so many people... Definitely a step in the right direction in the war on drugs."

  • Jennifer from Tennessee

    "After waking up one day in 2005, paralyzed from my neck down, I was eventually diagnosed with transverse myelitis, and became a chronic pain patient. For 13 years, I endured living in pain every day until I discovered kratom in May of 2019. I've been consuming it responsibly for 5 years and it has granted me a second chance at life! Unlike any prescription pain medication I've been prescribed over the years, kratom has provided unparalleled relief. I no longer suffer every day; I can get out of bed and be a mom! I can go to school functions run errands, go to the store, and just live life without suffering. Though I regained mobility I still face many physical limitations, however I'm no longer confined by constant pain. Thanks to this amazing plant"

  • Jon from Tennessee

    "Kratom is a miracle plant. It gives me the energy I need for a hard day's work and eases the pain after the day's work is done. I used to be addicted to stimulants and pain killers, now kratom does the job of both, legally and more affordably. Kratom both keeps me off hard drugs and helps me with the physical demand of manual labor. It is a Godsend."

  • Justin from Tennessee

    "Kratom helped me break a 20-year addiction and a lifelong problem with depression. It's literally a miracle in a plant."

  • Sharon from Tennessee

    "I am a disabled individual that suffers greatly with several chronic diseases that are painful. I have been on opioid pain medications and with all of the shortages and the DEA involvement and everything I was temporarily cut and I started using Kratom and did very well with it. I moved to a state where Kratom is not legal and I was unaware when I had to make an emergency move and I want to be able to fight to make it legal in Indiana because it's an all natural supplement that works and it has been a miracle for me and many others. I want to know what to do where to do it at and who to write and who to call in my state to fight the band and to fight the misinformation that's given about kratom and the propaganda. It's the same type of propaganda that's caused many pain patients to suffer who were put on opioids."
