We the people ask the federal government to Take or explain a position on an issue or policy:

DEA- Please reconsider the scheduling of Kratom, or Mitragynine as a Schedule 1 substance.

Created by C.B. on August 30, 2016

For thousands of years, Kratom has been used in many cultures as an herbal pain reliever and in many cases, a life saving plant that has assisted with addiction, depression, and an endless list of ailments that would normally cripple people or knock them out due to the easily available prescription painkillers that most are usually prescribed. In recent years, this plant has become more popular in the states and has literally saved the lives of many people who struggled with pain and were reaching an end with the prescriptions they were being given as their only option. The reports of "poisoning" calls over the years, due to kratom, pale in comparison to the drug epidemic we are facing in this country due to substances that are handed out LEGALLY by doctors.
