Why is Kratom Considered Controversial?

Kratom is a godsend for many in chronic pain and anxiety- so why is it so controversial? Because Big-Pharma is determined to make it and keep it that way.  Kratom is a huge threat to their billions of dollars they take in each and every year from sales of their pharmaceuticals. Hey if your business was to sell something and someone else comes along and introduces something different that does the same thing without all the nasty side effects, or the huge price tag, wouldn't you be threatened? Of course you would, and so are they. They may have more money than anyone, but they don't have all the "right" answers.       Kratom is a natural and economic answer to many of their products, and more and more people are becoming aware of it, staying away from chemical laden pharmaceuticals and keeping more of their hard earned money in their own pockets. But it's not without a formidable fight.
