“Kratom Gave Me My Life Back”: A Mississippi Woman’s Plea to Lawmakers

Lisha Adcock, a Mississippi resident, credits kratom with transforming her life after years of struggling with chronic pain and opioid addiction. In a heartfelt piece for Magnolia Tribune, Adcock shares how the herbal supplement helped her overcome debilitating pain and opioid cravings, allowing her to rebuild her life and support her family.

Adcock recounts her journey, from battling addiction to prescription painkillers after a medical crisis to finding relief through kratom—a plant-based remedy derived from Southeast Asian tree leaves. She describes how kratom has enabled her and her husband, a plumber with severe knee issues, to manage their pain without resorting to opioids.

As Mississippi lawmakers consider banning kratom, Adcock urges them to adopt the Kratom Consumer Protection Act instead, which would regulate the substance rather than outlaw it. She warns that a ban could push kratom into the black market, endangering lives.
