Mississippi Convenes Hearing on Kratom Ban
The anti-kratom forces are hard at work in Mississippi and we have to fight back now. The Senate Drug Policy Committee will convene a Hearing to vote on the proposed bans in the House, HB 1284 & 1287. The Hearing will meet this coming Monday afternoon, immediately following the adjournment of the Senate, which generally takes place at around 4 pm – but the Hearing could start a little sooner or later depending on business on the Senate Floor.
ALL WHO CAN JOIN ME IN PRESENTING TESTIMONY TO THE COMMITTEE – OR JUST SHOWING SUPPORT -- SHOULD PLAN TO ATTEND THIS HEARING.
I PLAN TO BE IN JACKSON ALL DAY ON MONDAY AND MOST OF THE DAY ON TUESDAY. I HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE.
Whether you can attend the Senate Hearing or not, everyone should (1) send an email to tell your story; (2) call these legislators and tell them to oppose the ban on kratom; and (3) attend the Hearing if you can. Please focus on the following in your email:
-
Tell your own personal story on how kratom has helped you in your life.
-
Thank these legislators for listening to the truth about kratom.
-
Respectfully ask every legislator to oppose the ban on kratom that would criminalize consumers. Tell them a ban would cause more deaths in Mississippi from adulterated kratom products that would flood the black market or would push pain sufferers to more dangerous NSAIDs or opioids that have a significant death count from people using those products.
-
Support the substitute Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) to protect kids and protect every kratom consumer.
