exactly 

It's a very light drug. I don't understand the fuss about it.

it shall be free and in the regular drug store ...

wasting tax payer money as well placing ppl in jail for nothing...

Sometimes I have to think the Kratom issue is an extreme overreaction by Thai authorities or just an opportunity to punish poor people. It is like banning cough medicine to cure alcoholics.
