Co-Sign the AKA Statement to the Presidential Commission on the Opioid Crisis!

PLEASE add your name as a co-signer to the American Kratom Association's Statement to the Presidential Commission on the Opioid Crisis!!!

     The American Kratom Association has been invited to speak before the Presidential Commission regarding the Opioid Crisis on August 31, 2017. This is very important because the Commission has been tasked with trying to find the best ways to successfully combat the Opioid Crisis. The statement describes a brief history of Kratom, the many benefits it provides, and how significant a role Kratom already plays in fighting the epidemic. Once the Commission completes their hearings, research, and investigations, they will present their recommendations to the President. Our hope is that Kratom finds itself on that list. This would provide a massive boost to Kratom's reputation in Washington.
     I believe the President simply doesn't have the time to conduct a personal evaluation of Kratom and therefore, he will look to his advisers; namely the DEA and FDA. We already know what they would recommend to the President. If the Presidential Commission adds Kratom to their list of recommendations, the President will read some significantly positive material on Kratom, which will obviously bring Kratom closer to its continued legality and renewing hope throughout the Kratom community.
     The AKA is asking for people to become "co-signers" for the statement that will be read to the Commission. The AKA has made available the full statement that will be read before the Commission. If you agree with their statement, please take the 30 seconds and sign using your name, email address (only used as verification that you're a real person), city, and state.

A Future Without Kratom?

As Kratom consumers, we hope for the best. But we should also plan for the worst. Nothing would be more frightening than Kratom suddenly being stripped from those who benefit greatly from its effects. As we cross our fingers and pray to every God, Deity, entity, spirit, and force imaginable to keep Kratom in our lives, we should view the full scope of reality; one that may not have Kratom available to us. Facing reality, Kratom is under the gun by our government, whether it's the DEA or the FDA or Congress. There is a chance that we may lose the battle for our health and happiness.
I have been a daily Kratom consumer for several years now. It helps combat my pain in profound ways. I've never used anything in place of Kratom because it has worked so well for me since the beginning. I do not know what I would do if I suddenly had no access to Kratom. Prescription opioids is not an option for me. I doubt they would be possible to obtain anyway, with the government's war on opioids happening and all. Therefore, we don't have many choices for alternatives.
The way I see it, either I would have to stop taking Kratom and deal with my pain as best I can, or I can find the best alternative possible. So I created this page to explore options. There are a number of different botanicals, herbs, extracts, and solutions out there which claim some level of alternative to Kratom, and I'm on the hunt to find them. As I find new articles, discussions, and remedies, I will post them here. I also threw a link into my Kratom Web Links page.
If you find anything out there that can aid in the substitution of Kratom, or can provide assistance for the transition from Kratom to another remedy, please leave a comment in the Kratom Alternatives page. Thank you very much and keep up the fight!
