Why Your Signature Matters
Some Virginia addiction specialists report over half their detox patients struggle with kratom withdrawal. Online support communities like Kratom Quitters have 11,000+ members sharing symptoms, some requiring medical intervention. Tens of thousands in recovery expose the industry lie that this "natural plant" is harmless. The kratom industry dismisses addiction stories by calling users "abusive" or claiming products were "adulterated," but the evidence is overwhelming. Legislators need to see this crisis demands proper regulation—or complete prohibition if safety measures cannot be achieved.
Who's Supporting Proper Regulation
Some Virginia addiction medicine professionals report kratom detox patients now represent over half their caseload, requiring specialized medical intervention despite kratom being marketed as a "safe natural supplement."
Petersburg Mayor Sam Parham documented devastating community impact from substances marketed as harmless: addiction, family breakdown, and tragic loss of life from deceptive gas station kratom sales.
Richmond addiction specialists treat kratom withdrawal requiring medical supervision due to severe symptoms lasting weeks. These opioid-acting substances remain sold as "herbal supplements" despite acting on the same brain receptors as opioids.
