On September 30th 2016, Mitragyna speciosa also known as Kratom, will be put on the DEA's Schedule I narcotic list. We need to make our voices heard against this injustice! Another one of mother nature's plants is becoming a schedule I drug, right alongside heroin and LSD. Cocaine however, remains a schedule II substance. I've personally tried Kratom, similar to the coffee plant and this astounds me. Please read the articles below and learn more for yourself!
With the FDA silencing us on essential oils and other natural supplements and now the DEA with their overreach of power, we need to stand united and fight for our rights to natural solutions.
