Kratom in Pennsylvania - Lawmakers’ latest concern

Image
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.

Is Kratom legal in Kentucky in 2022?

 Is Kratom legal in Kentucky in 2022? A plant commonly known as kratom, which can lead to stimulant or sedative effects, spurred discussion among legislators last week during a meeting of the Interim Joint Committee on Health, Welfare, and Family Services. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), kratom and kratom-based products are now legal and  obtainable in the United States , but international agencies are still gathering information about them. During the 2022 legislative session, Rep. Josh Calloway (R-Irvington) sponsored House Bill 569, which would have prohibited a kratom processor or kratom retailer from dispensing, selling or distributing any kratom extract or kratom product to anyone under 21 years of age. HB 569 did not pass this year, but Calloway told committee members that kratom use in Kentucky needs to be addressed due to safety concerns. “I’m not saying that it doesn’t have good uses for lots of things,” he said. “I’ve had thousands of peopl...

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...

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.

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...
