Congress Considers National Kratom Regulation with New Bipartisan Bill

In a landmark initiative, a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers has put forward a bill aimed at instituting federal oversight of kratom, an herbal supplement that has been the subject of much debate. The proposed legislation, highlighted by Marijuana Moment, seeks to balance consumer access with the establishment of safety protocols.

The bill emerges against a backdrop of heightened scrutiny by the FDA and discussions about the health impacts associated with kratom consumption. Proponents of the bill emphasize the need for regulation to ensure quality control and to deter potential restrictive measures that could limit access to the herb.

This legislative effort represents a critical juncture for the kratom community and industry, potentially defining the regulatory landscape for kratom in the United States.
