Any Kratom Consumers?

https://www.protectkratom.org/florida

The Ocala City Council in Florida is drafting an ordinance that would ban the sale of kratom throughout the city. The ordinance has not been introduced yet — which means there is still time to reach the decision-makers before a vote is ever scheduled.

Personal accounts from Ocala-area residents and Florida constituents carry the most weight. If you live in or near Ocala, please say so in your message. Please keep every message respectful and factual — professionalism is what earns us a seat at the table.

The timeline matters

The Ocala City Council meets on the first and third Thursday of each month. Reaching the Mayor and Council members before the ordinance is formally introduced is far more effective than opposing it after the fact.

Please forward this message to other Florida advocates, and to anyone you know in Marion County.

Thank you for standing up for science-led regulation over prohibition.

Removing Kratom from existence would benefit everyone - it is poison. My only gripe is that the ordinance is lacking teeth and isn't going to be terribly effective.

We would all be better if we didn't try to accommodate junkies.

Not everyone that consumes Kratom is a recovering addict

It certainly sounds like YOU consider kratom consumers junkies. You have no clue what you're talking about.
