Chicago’s approach stands out for prioritizing consumer choice, with calls growing for balanced regulations to enhance safety and transparency without resorting to outright prohibition. Advocates emphasize benefits for wellness routines, and regulatory momentum—including proposals for a Kratom Consumer Protection Act—suggests that safety-focused oversight is gaining favor.
