Why kratom, a useful herb, is about to be banned and why you should care
Kratom, an herb which has been shown to act as a safer alternative to opiate medication, is about to be banned by the DEA. Please help prevent this by signing this petition: petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/please-do-not-make-kratom-schedule-i-substance Also, it is probably a good idea to get in touch with Karen DeSalvo the Assistant Secretary of Health and let her know about our valid concerns over kratom being banned. She is specifically listed by the DEA as someone who is collecting comments and concerns on the matter. Here is her office's contact info: Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH) Phone: 202-690-7694 Email: ASH@hhs.gov Postal Address: 200 Independence Avenue, SW Room 716G Washington, DC 20201 Web Site: www.hhs.gov/ashMediaInquiries:ashmedia@hhs.gov and 202-205-0143 Acting Assistant Secretary: Karen B.
