Georgia Introduces Stricter Regulations on Kratom Sales

In a move to regulate the sale of kratom, Georgia has enacted a new law aimed at cracking down on the distribution of the controversial herbal supplement. The law, which was recently signed into effect, seeks to control the availability of kratom, a substance often used for its pain-relieving and anxiety-reducing properties.

The legislation imposes stringent guidelines on vendors, ensuring that kratom products meet specific standards before reaching consumers. This initiative is part of a broader effort to address concerns over the unregulated sale of dietary supplements and to protect public health.
