        This is why we need to keep Kratom legal. We have the science to prove Kratom does not cause respiratory depression.pic.twitter.com/ZqgPOZ14SB

        On international overdose awareness day I think it is important to Express the importance of kratom remaining legal. It doesn't suppress respiratory system like traditional opiates.

        Kratom doesn’t suppress the respiratory system. And not addictive like opiates. It gives me 75 percent pain relief. I no longer need opiates.

        plant assisted therapy(PAT) should be an option. medication assisted therapy is not for everyone. our bodies and minds are not chemically the exact same. if MAT works for some please let them have access. if PAT works for others it should be equally available.

        Help us help others choose their own therapy that works for them.... If you get to choose between Methedone and Suboxone or Subutex or maybe vivitrol let's add Kratom to choice
