Underage sales of kratom would be punishable by an up to $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Florida is closer than ever to adding regulations for the sale of kratom, a consumable plant with opioid- and stimulant-like effects. The House voted 114-0 for a bill ( HB 179 ) titled the “Kratom Consumer Protection Act.” The measure would define kratom products in state statutes for the first time and limit sales of kratom products to people 21 and older. Violating that restriction would result in a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by an up to $500 fine and up to 60 days in jail. Pensacola Republican Rep. Alex Andrade, the bill’s sponsor, had little to say about his measure, a far narrower version of legislation he and Sarasota Republican Sen. Joe Gruters unsuccessfully carried during the 2022 Legislative Session. Both refiled the measure this year, but Andrade has since pared his version down to only define and restrict sales of the product. “We really don’t have much infor...

Sep. 6—Among legislation Pennsylvania lawmakers will consider when they return to Harrisburg for voting sessions after an absence of more than two months is regulation of a plant-based substance that can produce opioid- and stimulant-like effects. Although kratom and kratom-based products are legal and accessible in many areas throughout the U.S., including Pennsylvania, the Food and Drug Administration and other federal agencies continue to review emerging evidence to inform kratom policy, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Kratom is derived from leaves of a tree native to Southeast Asia and has become popular for various uses, including as a coffee-like stimulant and to fight pain and anxiety. Among the unapproved uses is for treatment of addiction; it's believed that many of those who buy kratom are using it as a natural alternative to the prescription drug suboxone, which treats symptoms of withdrawal from opioids such as pain pills and heroin.

FDA Head Wants New Regulations for Kratom and CBD The head of the Food and Drug Administration says his agency will need new authority from Congress to regulate both kratom and cannabidiol (CBD), two natural substances used by millions of Americans to self-treat their pain and other medical conditions. FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf testified on Thursday before a House Appropriations subcommittee, where he was asked why the agency was slow in developing new regulations for CBD and why it remained opposed to the use of kratom. Califf said new regulatory pathways were needed for both substances because they fall between the cracks of existing law that gives the FDA broad authority to regulate food and drugs. “I don’t think the current authority we have, on the food side and the drug side, necessarily gives us what we need to have to get the right pathway to move us forward. We’re going to have to come up with something new. I’m very committed to doing that,” said Califf. Calif...
