    Kratom is a plant some people use to treat pain, anxiety and depression. The FDA warns Kratom can be addictive and life-threatening, issuing a public health advisory earlier this week suggesting its use could “expand the opioid epidemic.” @AnnaWerner has morepic.twitter.com/xFuzAJTNTR

        I love how you only let Dr. McCurdy speak for less than 2 seconds, didn't want to get the truth out about #kratom I see.

        @CBSNews @annawerner after 10 stays in rehab, having to be revived 3 times from overdose and suicide attempt, kratom is what helped my family member get off heroin, and stay off. There are thousands more like him. #kratomSavesLives

        Instead of attacking a plant that has the properties you are saying, has helped many addicts, could you concentrate on how opioid manufacturing, distribution, congress, conspired to make a fortune by contributing to the opioid crisis #MarinoBlackburndontcare

        The head of the @US_FDA needs to step down or be removed #Kratom is a crushed tree leaf. He is in bed with Big Pharma on record. Provide proof of claims Kratom is not safe, they can't. Because it is. #keepkratomlegal

        The FDA is also controlled by Big Pharma lobbyists. Kratom has been used forever to ween people off opiates. I have yet to meet someone addicted to it or someone who knows someone who died from it.

        Kratom can be addictive and withdrawal symptoms can be as horrible as #opioid withdrawal. It is not a sufficient alternative to #opioids for #chronicpain or emotional symptoms. #OpioidEpidemic #ThursdayThoughts

        how about getting some facts before your reporting? Like the fact that @SGottliebFDA is in bed with the big Pharma opiate producers who have been sitting on the patent for kratom's active ingredients since the 1960s. He has also been a strong advocate for fentanyl production.
