Kratom is one of those products for which laws and regulations vary from area to area. Different states have different perspectives on the Southeast Asian plant. Kansas has had an up-and-down relationship with kratom. Let’s follow the journey of kratom in Kansas and where it stands now.
Attempt at Kratom Ban
Back in 2018, some Kansas lawmakers wanted to enforce a ban by scheduling kratom products. Under the proposed ban, kratom would be considered a controlled substance. As an effect, Kansan residents wouldn’t be able to purchase or possess kratom. Kratom lovers would no longer be able to enjoy their favorite products.
Ban Blocked
Before the ban could take effect, the kratom community rallied together, making their voices heard. The American Kratom Association (AKA) and the Botanical Education Alliance (BEA) spearheaded a campaign to protect kratom, gathering compelling accounts from real kratom users. This united effort, with kratom lovers writing to their lawmakers in droves, led to a significant victory. Legislators chose not to ban kratom, a testament to the power of a united community.
Possibility of the KCPA
To strengthen the kratom industry, Kansas is considering passing the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA). The legislation would ensure that kratom is safe for consumers and meets particular requirements. Under the Kansas KCPA, manufacturers wouldn’t be able to adulterate or mix kratom with other substances, ensuring the purity and safety of the product. Customers would have to be of a certain age to purchase kratom, promoting responsible use. Additionally, manufacturers would have to meet stringent quality standards, including testing kratom to ensure purity, thereby enhancing consumer confidence in the product.
KCPA Crushed
Unfortunately, all hopes were dashed. On April 30, 2024, the bill was officially dead. Even though that doesn’t sound like good news, legislators could very well bring it to the forefront again in the future. It’s happened before, so it could happen again.
