What the petition asks
Kratom should be included in the exemptions list, so that the Government can at least make an educated decision on this special herb that has benefited so many peoples lives for the better. We believe Kratom should be reviewed by the government using real case studies and peoples testimonies.
Kratom has helped millions of people worldwide who have found prescription medication ineffective. It has given hope back to people who have relied on opiate based medicines for chronic pain. Kratom has also helped people who have suffered from anxiety and depression and numerous other ailments for years, allowing them to finally get there life back. To make Kratom illegal would have a devastating effect on so many people that rely on this herb and we ask you to reconsider on this matter.
