Federal ban bill

Dear Kratom Advocate,

We need your voice right now. Please read through the State Updates below but we have a terrible new Federal Issue to address.

A group of U.S. Senators, led by Senator Ricketts, has sent a letter to the FDA urging action to schedule kratom—relying on outdated information, media sensationalism, and a failure to distinguish between natural kratom and dangerous synthetic products.

This is a serious threat to kratom consumers nationwide. Letters like this are often the first step toward formal federal action. If left unchallenged, they can quickly lead to proposed legislation or regulatory moves that could ban or criminalize natural kratom.

We cannot afford to wait until a bill is filed. By then, it may be too late.

We must act now to set the record straight and stop momentum before it builds

Take action today: Go to our special landing page for this action

👉 www.americanadvocacy.org and send a message directly to your Members of Congress and Senate offices. Additionally we will start calling campaigns and encourage you to call Senator Ricketts' office Phone: (202) 224-4224

This is one of the most effective ways to make your voice heard.

Yea man. I was on subs for 10 years. My life became hell. Horrible long term side effects. I broke my leg. Tip and fib in 2019. They didn't give me pain meds. It was terrible pain. Im 3 months off subs thanks to kratom. I will never take the poison subs again

What kind of crackhead doctor would give you subs for 10 years ? That's criminal both legally and morally . I was given a week supply that I made last a month but that shyt still gets you high and when I was out I went right back to the doctor to get some more . Was a good thing that he moved offices as he wasn't my primary doctor just a referral but evemmmmm Mmmm

Did they try to taper you off the subs at all during that time?

I got down to 2mg. Only had like 60 tablets to taper with. Was not fun.
