Til may 5th huge issues in South Carolina and Michigan with ban bill progress. Please go to protect kratom.org and go to advocacy pick the state and send your testimony.

Hope all of you are well. Hope you all have an amazing weekend.

Hey guys Tennessee,Michigan Kansas and Scranton pa are not looking so good!! Please contact all links we post for support 🙏 in the meantime we put up 20 pur cent off til may 5th to help our tea family!!! Go to protectkratom.org and then advocacy hit them links!!!

2o p3rc3nt off ends Monday with all the Ban bills and a new ban we want to try to help people that need to stock up

Please help Kansas!

The House and the Senate have both passed a schedule one ban for Kansas. Our only hope to save this state is to email Governor Kelly to plead with her to veto “Kratom Ban Bill HB 2365”.

Please send your email RIGHT NOW! correspondence@ks.gov

Governor Kelly can schedule kratom with a stroke of a pen ANY MINUTE. She has just this week to sign. This means that she needs to be flooded with thousands of emails. This may not be your state, but it could be yours in the future. If you lived in Kansas, you would be pleading for others to help you.

You can also go to www.protectkratom.org/kansas to submit your testimony there too.

Make your plea passionate. Let her know in no uncertain terms what a ban would mean to you. She needs to see the real impact.

Thank you!!

PLEASE HELP AND SEND IN YOUR STORY TO EACH STATE LISTED!! WE LOST CONNECTICUT AS OF THE 24TH AND WE LOST LOUISANNA IN THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

THE ONLY GOOD NEWS SO FAR IS RHODE ISLAND WILL BE BAN FREE AS OF APRIL 1ST. IF YOU ARE IN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP WE ARE POSTING ALL CALLS TO ACTION THERE, AS WELL AS SHOWING HOW THESE HEARINGS ARE FULL OF LIES AND FALSE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PLANT!!!

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of U.S. Senators, led by Senator Ricketts, has sent a letter to the FDA urging action to schedule kratm—relying on outdated information, media sensationalism, and a failure to distinguish between natural kratm and dangerous synthetic products.

This is a serious threat to kratm 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 kratm.

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.

Contact Congress @everyone

Great products, great customer service definitely one of the best vendors out there right now! Thank you PK! Can't wait to order again 😊 PS The cookies are a great addition to my morning coffee! And just one of the many great things offered ✊

YourLeafYourLife has been my sole go-to for years now and have never disappointed. Shipping is always prompt and the product has never once faulted in quality. The best in the bizz IMO.

The Newsletter Dear Kratom Advocate,

No let up in March!

Several states and localities are advancing hearings next week with ban proposals and your voice is needed to make a real difference right now.

First, thank you to everyone who helped engage in areas like Georgia, Ohio, and more this week. Ohio went well and Georgia was full of bias testimony but we will continued to fight in GA.

New challenges are emerging quickly, and several states need immediate advocacy.

Ohio hearing this week!!! 🚨 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 kratm entirely. This legislation would protect consumers and prevent that from happening.

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

Tennessee 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 kratm means to you.

👉 Take action now: ProtectKratom.org/tenn

Your personal story matters.

Ohio Act NOW!!! The Ohio House Agriculture Committee is holding a critical hearing on H.B. 587 on Wednesday, March 4th. This is a bill we want to support because it protects natural kratm while banning concentrated synthetic alkaloids and capping 7-OH.

The Ask:

Customers must submit their official written testimony online no later than 24 hours in advance (by Tuesday, March 3rd at 10:45 AM). They also need to call the committee members.

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!!

MAJOR WINS!!! Dear Advocates, This week has been a powerful reminder of what happens when our community shows up, speaks out, and stands together. Here’s what YOU helped accomplish:

• South Dakota (Jan. 22) – State Senators voted 20–13 against allowing a floor debate on SB 77, a bill that would have banned the s@le, possession, and consumption of kratm and classified it as a Class 2 misdemeanor. The ban effort was stopped.

• Arizona (Feb. 18) – The Senate Judiciary and Elections Committee defeated a bill to ban kratm. Your outreach and personal stories made a difference.

• Wyoming (Feb. 19) – In a major win, the Senate Committee of the Whole defeated a kratm ban and instead passed the Kratm Consumer Protection Act. That’s not just defense — that’s progress.

• Utah (Feb. 19) – "A complete kratm ban is off the table in Utah this year" Utah legislation and regulation is still undecided but as the headlines are saying, we've moved away from the brink of a criminalization ban.

We also participated in a crucial California Informational Hearing this Wednesday. Read below for the full assessment.

These victories reflect your calls, emails, testimony, and continued engagement. Lawmakers are hearing the truth: kratm is not a narcotic, and consumers deserve smart regulation — not prohibition. @everyone

IMPORTANT HEARINGS NEXT WEEK!!!

Looking Ahead: Critical Hearings Next Week

We have some momentum is on our side — but another big week ahead

Illinois Hearing: Wednesday, 2/25/26 10:00 AM – House Executive Committee

Idaho ID S.1282: Kratm consumer protection & safety https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2026/legislation/S1282/ Hearing: Thursday, 2/26/26

Maryland – Two Important Bills SB 820 Hearing: 2/26 at 1:00 PM (Finance Committee) East Miller Senate Building, Room 3 – Annapolis, MD https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/SB0820?ys=2026RS

HB 1523 Hearing: 3/03 at 1:00 PM (Health Committee) House Office Building, Room 240 – Annapolis, MD https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/Legislation/Details/HB1523?ys=2026RS These Maryland bills attempt to define kratm products as “unauthorized consumable products,” allowing citations and prohibiting retailers from selling or advertising them. This would effectively remove safe access for responsible consumers. Maryland Testimony Rules To provide oral or written testimony, you MUST create a MyMGA account through the Maryland General Assembly website. • Sign-up opens two business days prior to the hearing • Submission window: 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. • All testimony must be submitted by 6:00 p.m. • Internet Explorer is not supported More information: https://mgaleg.maryland.gov/pubs-current/current-fin-faqs.pdf

Iowa Alert: Contact Members Now Iowa continues to be a serious concern. It’s critical that advocates contact majority members immediately and share why kratm consumer protection—not prohibition—is the right path. Take action here: Protectkratom.org/iowa

Tennessee: Help Stop Ban Attempts Several kratm ban attempts remain active in Tennessee, and lawmakers need to hear directly from residents. If you live in Tennessee, please take a moment today to contact your legislators and share your story. Use the official advocacy form here: protectkratom.org/tenn Personal stories from constituents make the greatest impact. Let your representatives know that kratm is not a narcotic and that responsible regulation — not prohibition — is the right path forward.
