The Kratom News for January 2012

The Kratom news is a monthly review of what is going on with Kratom. In this episode we reviewed kratom's legality. We will be reviewing the recent unfounded ban of kratom in the state of Virgina, as well as Ireland, and other countries. There are also developments with the Canadian/USA border deal that make tighter restrictions for all herbs and natural products, including kratom. We are discussing the politics of the FDA, Ron Paul, the codex Alimentarius agenda, and much more. In this episode there is also a link put up to the recent ban proposition for kratom in Pennsylvania.

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET INVOLVED AND JOIN THE KRATOM ASSOCIATION TO TAKE ACTION. WE NEED TO MAKE OUR VOICE HEARD TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS!

Here is a link to the PA ban proposal: http://www.legis.state.pa.us/WU01/LI/CSM/2011/0/8745.pdf

In Louisiana you can purchase Kratom, but not for human consumption! Louisiana courts can sentence you to HARD LABOR if you possess Kratom (Mitragyna Speciosa) for human consumption under Louisiana Act Number 159 (http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/law/states/law_louisiana_plants_2005_05rs-5­2.pdf)

@GalaxiePictures: Indeed it is not listed in act 159, but under the plant specifications it has been classified as one of those types. I have had people contact me to notify me that Kratom was banned for human consumption/removed from the shelves of headshops in Lousiana due to act 159 and the law's interpretations of botanical categorization. You can read the bill in the descriptions for yourself.

I am updating the links in the video since I can't post them here in the comments section.

Please send me more information on how I can help this much needed cause. Everything I was told growing up about the freedoms of the US now feel like complete lies.

@GalaxiePictures Kratom is not on the bill, but Senator Crowe is planning to add kratom to the bill. Check the KA website for more info. Kratomassociation Org

Great video, maybe a little long though. I haven't looked up the Louisiana bill so I don't know what it actually says in reference to kratom, some of the comments here seem to say it doesn't relate to kratom. Maybe you could clarify this in a later video. (Or perhaps you already have, I haven't seen them all yet!)

Kratom needs to be appreciated for the amazing medicinal qualities it possesses. Maybe that's the problem though, big pharma want a piece of the kratom pie.
