The DEA is Coming After Kratom

As if the DEA hasn't made enough bad decisions this year.

From The Drug Policy Alliance:

The DEA recently placed kratom, a medicinal plant used for millennia in Southeast Asia, on the list of Schedule I drugs, effective September 30. 
Without a serious scientific investigation the DEA irresponsibly intends to subject anyone caught with kratom to long prison sentences, while effectively halting scientific investigation into kratom’s medicinal benefits and making it impossible to enact sensible legal regulations for kratom. 
Many people struggling with opioid addiction have turned to kratom as a safer alternative, but now all promising scientific studies on kratom’s role in opioid treatment could be immediately shut down. Science be damned. 
We need your help to fight back.
Time is running out for you to tell your Senators how you feel about another destructive policy from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
