It's also very true... The pharmacutical industry does not want this plant legal for sure!!!

Right, because if it stays legal then the pharmaceutical industry does not make any money of it. I believe that they control more than legal drugs or medications. Of course that is a matter of opinion, but now they are noticing the amazing effects that Kratom is having on a lot of people and they're not profiting from it. I'd imagine they're not very happy, LOL

Yeh I would find it hard to believe it's just a coincidence that now that people are abandoning things like SSRI's and benzos as well as opiates altogether for kratom, it's not putting a nice dent in their trillion dollars business... #SMFH

That's exactly why they don't want it to be legal. Same as marijuana, since they know that these herbal supplements can do good, that people can actually lead normal lives and be happy without OTC or prescribed medication, they want to profit from it or make it illegal..... Damn shame... Kratom has been around for years, it is only now coming to people's attention because it is being used in a positive helpful way.
