I’ll start back in 2005 on my way to work. I was almost killed in a car accident. Sitting at a traffic light little did I know a 17yr kid was texting while driving he was driving 70 in a 45 then it happened he hit my car which was stopped mind you AT 70 MPH the force was so strong it twisted my car which has automatic seatbelts my driver door cracked open. Next thing I know I was coming to and a 2nd hit this time from a s10 truck hit me head on. I wish you could see the pictures. So in a matter of 20 secs my life was over. My body bent the steering wheel and smashed up the dashboard. I was in the hospital for 2 week then sent home with a alot of drugs. I lost my job of 17 years and still today life is a struggle just to get out of bed these days is hell but I will not sit on my ass and collect SSI I love to work. Anyway at that time for years i was in 3 90mg on oxi cotton 6 percocet 2 tramadol then you have vuilm oh dont for get muscle relaxants. That’s alot of crap. Then one day I made a doc appointment and they took me off 80% and even lowered my dose after all those years. Before I found kratom I was on 2 ms cotton and 2 percocet everything else was taken away not even a tapering down. Before I from kratom I was thinking of putting a gun in my month and ending it all the pain is too much. Hell even on the small amount of pain pill I would go out to dinner and just nod off at the table fun right. Now I just kratom 3 times a day I AND NO PILLS this is crazy a plant that helps ppl with pain. I became a truck driver kratom made this all possible one can not drive on pain pills I tryed. I nodded off and almost his the car in front of me. If the DEA bans KRATOM I wont have a choice but to go back to the life I had popping pills nodding off. I started to get my life back my kids wanted to spend time if there dad now that I was off that shit. I can function day to day. Dont get me wrong on days I really hurt I which I had pills because kratom dont to shit it’s not the same as pain pills but that said when the pain is so so kratom is a big big help. With kratom could be what this country needs. The DEA could be heros an used kratom to start helping ppl. I forgot to bring up I quit my pills with kratom WITH NO!!! SIDE EFFECTS from 2005 till 2018 of being on heavy painkillers I quit just like that. I would love to add more buy I need to get to work. If anyone reads this plz plz plz dont ban kratom…
