2. Well, that petition has a lot to say about what Kratom is NOT.

I says almost nothing about what it IS and what it's good for.

The President of the United States cannot make any drug legal. That is not within presidential powers. So, the petition cannot do anything, really. Personally, I don't know anything about Kratom. I learned almost nothing from the petition, either, about it, except claims about what it DOESN'T do.

So, educate us. Explain what the drug is used for and why it's superior to other drugs for those illnesses. Make a case FOR it. That's how you'll move forward on it. Saying it is "not as bad as" something else is a poor argument, I'm afraid.
