Veteran Advocates for Kratom Regulation in California

A 48-year-old Army veteran from Woodland, California, is sharing his story of finding relief from chronic pain through kratom use. In an opinion piece for Capitol Weekly, Marcelle Morfin describes his struggle with debilitating back injuries and the relief he found in kratom after exhausting traditional treatment options. Morfin expresses support for Assembly Bill 2365, proposed legislation that would regulate kratom in California. The bill, introduced by Assemblymember Matthew Haney, aims to establish packaging standards, age restrictions, and testing protocols for kratom products. Morfin believes this legislation could provide a safer environment for individuals seeking natural alternatives for pain management. His personal account highlights the potential benefits of kratom for chronic pain sufferers and the importance of responsible regulation in ensuring consumer safety.
