  • Mike from Illinois

    “It gives me pain relief, energy, relax and focus on my everyday routines, chores, etc… please keep Kratom legal and safely regulated with no bans or Big Pharmaceutical companies involved. Kratom is safe and is another of Gods Plants that help the needed like myself. I will be 61 yrs old soon and will continue until my last day fighting for Kratom and people like myself."

  • Christina from Illinois

    "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."

  • Celeste from Illinois

    "I was born with Juvenile Arthritis. Now, in my senior years, my condition finally left me legally disabled and confined to bed. Then I found Kratom! Although I will always have health problems, now I can stay out of bed and actually live my life. I even run around and keep up with my grandsons. Although years ago I was dependent on pain meds, I haven’t taken any prescription pain meds in over a decade. Kratom does a much better job of giving me comfort, without leaving me loopy."

  • Michael from Illinois

    "I would like to share my experience of being a kratom consumer for almost 10 years. I’m a healthy young man, work as an implementation specialist, and very active in dance as well as Taekwondo. Kratom has helped provide relief in easing my joint and muscle pain tremendously, without impairing or harming me both physically or mentally. Kratom has also helped me relax as I also struggle with my insomnia issues on a nightly basis, in addition to drinking chamomile tea. I’m a strong believer in age restrictions and consumer regulations, instead of an outright ban.

  • Erik from Illinois

    "I began taking kratom almost 10 years ago for my overall well being. It helps with my depression, anxiety, and it gives me an overall sense of well being. During one of the roughest periods of my life, kratom helped get me off illicit opiates—offsetting the awful withdrawal symptoms I was experiencing. I never have experienced any negative side effects from taking this miraculous plant. Kratom is less intoxicating than cannabis and significantly less intoxicating than alcohol. It would be foolish to make Kratom, a member of the coffee tree family, a scheduled substance when it has so much natural, therapeutic value."

  • Andria from Illinois

    "Kratom has helped me a lot. It helped with pain and cravings when I was coming down off of drugs and has helped me stay clean. I'm not addicted to kratom but do use it when I need to."
