Ep 2: Embracing Kratom: Misty Brown's Journey from Addiction to Advocacy

Join us on a transformative journey with Misty Brown where she shares how chronic pain led her to opioid and cocaine addiction. Then a chance encounter with the documentary, A Leaf of Faith, introduced her to Kratom. Purchasing her first batch from a local vendor, she found this plant to be a balm for her cravings and pain, helping her regain control over her life.   Now a seasoned warrior, she uses her voice on social media to challenge the misconceptions surrounding Kratom and protect against skewed portrayals. As a Board Member of the Botanical Action Network, Misty strives to curb statewide Kratom bans and foster appropriate regulation, widening access to this life-changing plant.
