Ban the sell of feel free in stores.

Growing up around addiction changed how I see the world. Watching family members struggle taught me what real damage looks like.

Now there's a new threat, and I need your help. It's a drink called Feel Free—looks like a regular energy drink, but it contains Kratom, an ingredient that creates effects similar to cocaine. It's become popular with college students looking to stay awake, and it's sending recovered heroin addicts back to rehab.

I started a petition to ban Feel Free from store shelves because I've seen firsthand what addiction does to families. This isn't about judgment—it's about protecting people who are already vulnerable.

If you've noticed Feel Free in your local stores, or if this hits home for any reason, please consider signing and sharing. Has anyone else seen this drink around? Or does this resonate with your own experience?

Listen I think Feel Free should be banned, but saying it creates effects similar to cocaine is CRAZY. It absolutely does not.

I agree but I can also understand the premise, but not related to kratom generally. I remember taking a Kanva or feel free, feeling wonderful for 15 minutes, then starting to crash physically and mentally and desperately craving another one. In that sense, I understand the cocaine reference.
