Kratom is an herb used for pain management and to keep people off harder painkillers like heroin or similar opiates. It has a mild to moderate pain reducing effect, and can be addictive, but with less overdose potential as compared with other drugs like heroin.

Given how harmful alcohol is while being legal, in comparison kratom seems to have a much more moderate capacity for causing harm, and thus in my view ought to remain legal. Certainly I do not encourage people to abuse the herb, but would like to see more research done on it and think it could be useful in moderation like alcohol can be.

What do you think of kratom and should it be kept legal?
