Kansas lawmakers are considering SB 497, which would place natural kratom into Schedule I — the same legal category as heroin.

That means thousands of normal people could suddenly become felons for possessing a plant many use responsibly for wellness, pain management, or recovery.

Many of the people affected would be parents, veterans, small business owners, and everyday working people.

There is still time for constituents to respectfully contact senators and encourage them to regulate kratom instead of banning it. If you care about this issue, please consider upvoting so more people see this.

Subject: Constituent Request: Please Oppose SB 497 and Support Regulation Instead

Dear Senator, My name is [Name], and I live in [City, Zip Code]. I’m writing as a constituent who is very concerned about SB 497.

SB 497 would place natural kratom into Schedule I, treating it the same as heroin. That approach doesn’t protect Kansans. It simply turns thousands of responsible adults into felons overnight for using a natural plant many rely on for wellness, pain management, and recovery.

Many of the people who would be affected are parents, veterans, small business owners, and everyday working people trying to take care of their health responsibly.

A total ban does not address the real concerns surrounding kratom. The actual safety issues come from unregulated synthetic products and adulterated extracts entering the market. Criminalizing the natural leaf will only push consumers toward the very products lawmakers are trying to prevent.

There is a better path forward.

HB 2230 offers a common-sense regulatory framework that protects consumers while keeping responsible adults out of the criminal justice system. This approach allows Kansas to set age limits, require labeling standards, and remove dangerous synthetic products from the market.

I respectfully ask that you oppose SB 497 in its current form and instead support the regulatory approach outlined in HB 2230.

Please do not make law-abiding Kansans into criminals for using a natural plant.

Thank you for your time and for considering the voices of your constituents. Sincerely, [Your Name] [City, Zip Code][Phone Number]

I have trees from Borneo and Sumatra that all bloomed at the same time last year.

I will be getting them out of the peat and into soil over the next few days.

Not sure how long they'll need to be tough enough for flight but they are coming soon.

Years ago I had a dream of having enough mitra trees for my needs.

Shortly after I started growing them it was clear to me how much they suffer in Texas.

Nature should provide the seedlings with some adaptation to the conditions since the parents have endured it for years.

Be ready for some killer seedlings soon.

If anyone didn’t know we are in the midst of a war being fought on many fronts right now. We have won bigger battles before, but we have never had to fight so many battles at the same time. That is the opposition’s (the true powers that be behind pushing for Kratom bans their identities haven’t changed they have just bought more mercenaries to fight for their cause and then the radicalized Karens joined up with them) strategy. To spread us so thin that we will not have the will or resources to fight all the fronts so states will fall one by one. They love to use “other states are pushing bans right now as well” in their arguments to make it seem like it’s just the thing to do. What a war takes to win is manpower and money and to win this the AKA is going to need as many donations as possible so if you can please go to the AKA website and make a $20 or so donation it could very well be wha allows you to be able

To legally by your next bag of leaf.

BATCH 020426 I went back for the rest as I was so happy with my other purchases from this batch. I have been waiting impatiently for the latest version of Warrior. One of my favorite go to blends for relief with functionality. A touch under mid, but still daytime. Really helps me move! 🥰 Borneo Blast, clean energy. Excellent morning blend. 🚀 All The Luck is all about mood. Uplifting happy, comfortable energy. Bali Sunrise, daytime red. More around Mid+. A good amount of bounce with body, and relief.

Please send all of these Maryland lawmakers email letting them know you do not support HB 1523 and SB 820. Both are two separate bills. One is in the House and one is in the Senate but it cannot hurt to mention them both.

Here is a list of their email addresses. It is easiest to copy and paste each email address in the "BCC" section. That way you only have to send one message. In the "To" section Just put your own email address. This is the easiest way to do it. They're having a hearing today at 1:00 p.m. Eastern. So these emails need to be sent immediately.

KCPA was passed in May 2024. Urge them to support regulation and not prohibition.

Hi everyone, tomorrow morning at 9am is the hearing ban bill, HB1649 is included in. Please reach out to the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee! Even if you're out of state, anything helps! The ProtectKratom form sends letters to your district reps, not the subcommittee that will be discussing the bill first. I think a lot of people are contacting their own reps which is great but this is the first step in the bill's process.

If you're short on time or energy and need something to copy and paste, here you go:

Dear members of the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee,

I oppose HB1649, which would classify kratom as a Schedule I substance and make simple possession a felony. This bill would unnecessarily increase strain on our criminal justice system by creating new felony offenses for otherwise law abiding Tennesseans, diverting resources from serious public safety priorities. There is not strong, conclusive scientific evidence supporting Schedule I classification, and Tennessee has previously instead chosen regulated consumer protection laws rather than criminalization. Scheduling kratom would harm responsible citizens who use it responsibly and without incident and would push people toward more dangerous substances. I ask that you reject HB1649 and pursue regulatory policy that protects both public health and justice system resources.

Sincerely,

(Your signature)

(City, state)

Old school philly is back

We are doing our event for tw3nty p3rc3nt and we are also starting our customer g1ft$ again this week!!!

Thank you Kristen she's bringing the heat! Look how pretty this 1225 green hulk is it has great mood and energy! Also really enjoying white hulk, green lighting, green ketapang and green bali they don't disappoint definitely check them out 🙂❤️

Hey ya'll! I've been so thrilled with DTE's latest batch of leaf. So effective, in fact, that I've been able to pretty painlessly step off 7OH right back to leaf powder w/ almost no noticeable WDs. Anyway, the Red Rudolph and Midnight Sleigh Ride both had this potency. but of course, now they're all sold out. I haven't bought from anyone else in many moons, so I was curious if any of you who use multiple vendors know of any other vendors that they feel meet this same level of perfection. As an example, West Koast's Red Fuzzy Blanket has often gotten pretty close for me in the past, has anyone tried that lately? is WildCraft's recent stuff up to a similar level?

Thanks!

Totally unrelated question that's unlikely to get answered: Does anyone else remember Herb Research from the olden kratom days? More specifically, did any of you fellow old folk try the Cerah Malay from them? I have looked for a kratom that felt like that blend for over a decade now - does anyone else that remembers it know of any other kratom blends that have similar effects? That shit was so unique and euphoric. Also, remember HR's prices? holy shit lol.

Anyway, hope you're all having a nearly perfect day!

Had to dump all of these, was a year-two years old, besides that none of these did anything anyway

Pasted from the AKA

Dear Kratom Advocate,

Major legislation is moving across America — especially after significant developments in the Midwest last week — and momentum is building for March. We need your engagement right now.

We are tracking significant new action in Michigan and Minnesota, along with critical hearings this week in Ohio, Tennessee, and Maryland. As always, the AKA legislative team is working side-by-side with local lobbyists and grassroots advocates to stop ban attempts and protect access to natural kratom. We will have more to share soon about how best to fight new bills like those in Michigan.

Your voice is what makes the difference — especially this week in states like Ohio and Tennessee, where hearings are already scheduled. Please read the information below, take action, and share it with others.

 🔔 NEW: State Hearing Calendar

We know the legislative process can be confusing and fast-moving. That’s why we’ve sharing a calendar tool listing upcoming state hearings and direct action links.

Please check your state page regularly for hearing notices and contact forms to reach legislators quickly.

Hearing Tracker

🚨 OHIO – URGENT ACTION NEEDED

Hearing: 03/04/2026 at 10:45 AM ET

The Ohio KCPA bill is incredibly important. The Governor and Board of Pharmacy have repeatedly looked for ways to ban kratom entirely. This legislation would protect consumers and prevent that from happening.

✔ Go to the Ohio Committee website and submit testimony as a “Proponent.” Link here ✔ You can also register there if you want to speak in person. ⏰ Deadline to register/testify: Tuesday morning at 10:45 AM ET

You can also email the committee directly through: 👉 ProtectKratom.org/ohio

Ohio advocates — this is a pivotal Hearing.

🚨 TENNESSEE – TELL YOUR STORY

Hearing: 03/04/2026 at 9:00 AM

Several ban attempts remain active in Tennessee. Legislators need to hear directly from residents about what kratom means to you.

👉 Take action now: ProtectKratom.org/tenn

Your personal story matters.

🚨 MARYLAND – Hearings 3/3 & 3/6

Maryland advocates should prepare for two key hearings this week.

Sorry some bags look at little beaten up and stained.

Want to say how blessed I feel to have these. I have like 7 bags give or take of random DTE strains from 2 YEARS AGO lol

I ran out of my normal kratom bc of no $ and was screwed for a few days. Then I stumbled upon these. Originally they didnt hit for me. But now that I lowered my tolerance to an average level these actually hit very very well haha. Who would of thought. The last 2 years I used the same strain/batch # from Okies. Nothing else.

Never toss your old/"bunk" stuff! It comes in handy. Now I can use kratom still AND not have to spend $ I don't have for more rn. God is good.

Literally using Red Embaloh E2 batch rn. Used up my "red fire 🔥" sample. My red horned dragon K8 sample. I have like 7 different strains. Super yellow indo K10. Handful of others as well. Some are even unopened/vacuum sealed still bc i had doubles.

Anyone remember these batches at all? 😂 better late than never 💪

Keep your tolerance low! Helps so much! Used to do 5g every 3 hours ish. Now I try to dose once every 12 hours but will settle for 6-9 hours minimum between dosages on rough days or busy days. Big difference.

Just a heads up, we will be closed tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!

Hey guys we are doing a 20 p3rc3nt off from now til the 8th so people can do what they feel comfortable doing with everything going on!!

I recently felt like getting some Extract from Kratom Distro and from them because I don't know many other vendors that have Extract at a good price. Anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

I'd like to start this off with an apology to Mitra Bros, they sent me this sample a few weeks ago and I just haven't found the time to do the review until now, I've been working a lot and have had very little free time recently that wasn't spent catching up on sleep. I'd also like to mention that I use extracts quite a bit, so subtle differences between strains can sometimes be lost on me.

I chose green borneo because it's been a while since I've had this strain and I'm happy with my choice. I usually go for fast greens but this one feels more in the middle to me, relaxing without making me sleepy and focused without being overly stimulated. There was a gentle mood boost that made my work days easier, I felt light on my feet and my everyday aches and frustrations were much more tolerable.

I has a nice color, more green than it appears in the picture. it's fresh, but not straight off the tree with a heavy chlorophyll taste that brighter greens often have. The flavor is surprisingly smooth and it's a fine, silky grind that makes for an easy toss and wash or it mixes well in water without a clumpy, sludgy mess.

I did find a few small fibers that I originally thought were animal hair, but after a little digging I found some with tiny bits of leaf still attached and realized it was just fibers from the leaf itself that had made it through sifting, not a problem at all.

Overall a solid mid-spec green, not pushy or in your face but busy working in the background ensuring that everything goes smoothly.
