My opinion is that long term daily kratom use is terrible for your health, but it doesn't carry an overdose risk so it should stay legal and the decision to use or not should be up to the user.
I'm not the other guy but slow down there sparky. You can OD on water too. There are addicts and then there are people that use it responsibly for pain, sleep, anxiety, etc. 7-oh is absolutely harmful. Regular leaf is safe.
