Kratom, an herbal extract that is banned in Wisconsin and five other states, could be legalized in the state after a regulatory board agreed to provide guidance to the Legislature at the urging of a bipartisan group of lawmakers. The state’s Controlled Substances Board last week said it would study kratom, sometimes used to treat pain or manage opioid withdrawal, and make recommendations. The substance became illegal in a 2014 state law that mostly regulated cannabinoids such as CBD and those found in marijuana. “We’re taking the approach of providing some guidance around kratom,” Doug Englebert, chair of the Controlled Substances Board, said during the board’s meeting July 15 . The move came after a bipartisan group of lawmakers last month made a second request to the board for guidance. In May, after the first request, the board said it would be up to legislators to decide whether to change the 2014...

Louisiana Ascension Parish has cancelled the kratom hearing scheduled for today (Thursday 7/21/22.) This is a direct result of the advocacy efforts from the kratom protector community We will continue to monitor the situation and help educate officials. This is important for all Louisiana and American Kratom Protectors. Arguments against kratom being pushed in Ascension are similar to attacks we're seeing elsewhere, especially from rehab center owners. The American Kratom Association is working hard to show the real science and dispute what is often fear-mongering and completely false claims. At a recent Louisiana Ascension Parish Strategic Planning meeting, anti-kratom rehab groups shared why they felt kratom should be banned. There was a lot of misinformation shared about kratom, including the Sherif's Department stating "basically it is synthetic heroin." The Parish then called for a full hearing on kratom, originally scheduled for today, to help them...

FDA and FTC have issued four joint warning letters to kratom companies centered on opioid claims. It’s a move that comes on the heels of FDA rejecting an NDI filing on the ingredient for the sixth time. The companies involved are Herbsens Botanicals, Klarity Kratom, Kratom Exchange and Omni Consumer Products, LLC dba YoKratom. The warning letters were the result of an online search of the companies’ websites and social media pages conducted in May and June 2022. The warning letters allege that the companies have been making disease treatment claims on the products, which were sold primarily in capsule form. Among the disease treatment claims were pain relief, blood pressure, and depression indications. Focus on opioid claims One unifying factor, however, were the claims being made by the four companies to help consumers addicted to opioids or other drugs wean themselves off those substances and to help manage the severe symptoms of opioid withdrawal. That prompted the inclu...

To end the drug crisis, bring addiction out of the shadows Far too often, shame and stigma fuel addiction and prevent treatment, argues Nora Volkow, MD, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. But replacing judgment with compassion can save lives. When I was six years old, as I was having dinner with my mother and three sisters, my mother received a telegram. She broke down crying as she read it. Her father — my grandfather — had died. In her grief, she locked herself in her room and would not let me console her. The memory of my inability to relieve my mother’s suffering still haunts me. My sisters and I were led to believe that our grandfather had died of a heart attack. It was only decades later, when I had already been an addiction researcher for several years and my mother was herself dying, that she revealed the truth: My grandfather had had an alcohol addiction. Unable to stop drinking, he had taken his own life in a final moment of futility and shame. People...

The World Health Organization (WHO) has decided against a critical review and subsequent scheduling of kratom, according to the WHO Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) Summary assessments, findings, and recommendations. The ECDD looked at seven substances: Brorphine, Metonitazene, Eutylone, 4F-MDMB-BICA, Benzylone, Kratom, and Phenibut. The first two were added to Schedule 1 of the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, the third was added to Schedule II of the Convention on Psychotropic Substances, and the rest are to be kept under surveillance. The summary noted that the main psychoactive components of kratom are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine , two alkaloids—7-hydroxymitragynine is also a metabolite of mitragynine. Kratom has been under ECDD surveillance since 2020, due to a country-level report indicating the potential for abuse, dependence, and harm to public health, as well as a report from an international organization regarding documented fatalities associate...

Concerned about kratom withdrawal? What to expect in terms of symptoms, the general timeline, and whether you should consider reaching out to a doctor. Kratom is often seen by people as an alternative to opioids because it acts on the brain the same way when taken in higher doses. Unfortunately, this also means that kratom has a somewhat similar addiction potential. As with other substances with opioid-like effects, kratom can cause tolerance , cravings, and dependence. Eventually, this can lead to physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms when people stop using it. Potential symptoms Kratom withdrawal produces many of the same symptoms as opiates and opioids withdrawal, though they aren’t always as severe. Physical symptoms include: insomnia muscle aches jerky movements runny nose and watery eyes severe abdominal cramps nausea and vomiting diarrhea dilated pupils blurred vision hot flashes and sweats fever decreased appetite c...
