The Label Kratom Bill
Kansas moves to label kratom a food, bans unsafe sales
Enacting the kratom consumer protection act, defining kratom as a food product, prohibiting the distribution and sale of kratom that is adulterated, requiring persons to be at least 21 years of age to purchase such product, establishing civil fines for violations of the act and requiring the secretary of agriculture to adopt rules and regulations for the administration of the act.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would treat kratom like food, stop selling tainted kratom, and only let adults 21 or older buy it.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Kansas residents would gain protection from dangerous kratom products and see teens kept away, while sellers would face fines if they break the rules.
