    Science, not FDA fear mongering, is winning!

    Another study now proves kratom can reduce the effects of opioid withdrawals, and kratom produced "significantly less physical dependence" than the reference drug morphine. The FDA remains tone deaf to the science and leaves many opioid addicts trapped in outdated treatments.

    Attention all kratom consumers and kratom warriors:

    Let me be clear, 2021 will be the most important year in the fight to protect #kratom since the scheduling recommendation was overturned in 2016. We have the opportunity to make huge progress in our fight to #keepkratomlegal.


    The threats we are facing from the FDA and its surrogates around the country make the next six months very important. The FDA is working overtime to spread their unfair and vicious attacks on kratom – and they want to make you and me criminals for consuming kratom.


    Your support helps the AKA monitor and defeat State, County, and even City or Town bans on kratom. We've successfully defeated kratom bans at hearings in localities across America, but only because of the amazing support of an embarrassingly small number of donors. Show your support with a donation and prevent kratom bans where you live.


    PLEASE GO TO www.AmericanKratom.org/Donate

    DONATE $15, $25, $75...or whatever you can afford


    We'll be working in states across America (including Florida, Vermont, Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, and many more) to pass the Kratom Consumer Protection Act. This pivotal piece of legislation has already been passed in states like Georgia and Utah, and works to ensure kratom is accessible to all adult residents in a pure and safe form. But without your support, we know we won't be successful in overcoming kratom's enemies to get these Consumer Protection Acts passed!


    Make no mistake, the FDA, Big Pharma, and others want kratom banned in every state!

    The passage of the KCPA in multiple states will help us lay the groundwork to pass this critical legislation on the Federal level.
    But we can't do this without your help. The FDA is hoping people stop contributing and the AKA runs of out of resources necessary to hire our team of experts.

    Will you please take a minute and send a donation? We cannot win this without your help.

    DONATE TO KEEP KRATOM LEGAL


    $15, $25, $75 or more…whatever you can afford would be a huge help in paying for the experts needed to keep kratom legal.
    The legacy of former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb hangs over most every capital building as his misinformation on kratom still gets circulated around. He spent years working to demonize kratom to Health Departments, Boards of Pharmacy; and law enforcement agencies in virtually every state in America.


    Trust me, the enemies of kratom see the progress we are making with the #Kratom Consumer Protection Act, and they are fighting back.
    Please help send a clear message that the kratom community is not going away – not now, and not anytime in the future.

    Thank you so much for your support.

    You have my commitment that we will continue to do everything we can to keep kratom legal.


    Sincerely,


    Matt Salmon
    Chairman
    American Kratom Association

    Attention All Kratom Warriors:
     
    As legislative sessions start up around the country, we expect to see a number of kratom ban bills filed in various states. The FDA has been aggressively disseminating their disinformation at the state and local levels and have incited many well-intentioned but misinformed anti-drug advocates to target kratom as a "dangerous drug".
    The AKA is working in more than 35 states to promote the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), and we will vigorously fight any ban proposals. The FDA will be working hard too, and that is evidenced by a ban bill that was proposed in Mississippi.
    We encourage kratom advocates to join the Kratom Consumer Council (KCC) to be prepared for an organized and targeted grass-roots advocacy campaign. Launching attacks against any bill sponsor who files a kratom ban bill will be counter-productive.
    To illustrate, the sponsor of the kratom ban bill in Mississippi has been very willing to discuss this issue, and is considering supporting the KCPA. We know that will be possible in other states if we carefully manage how we respond when we see new ban legislation.
    To join the Kratom Consumer Council, please HERE
    Equally important, a ban bill that is filed does not mean that it will pass, and it is not the end of the world. Just last year, we defeated ban bills in Hawaii, Missouri, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Mississippi, Illinois, South Dakota, Louisiana, and Maryland.
    We will continue to be vigilant in our efforts to protect the legality of kratom and allow consumers to have the freedom to make informed decisions on kratom products they use to maintain their health and well-being.
     
    Thanks for all of your support to protect kratom.

    2020 didn't go as scheduled, for anyone, but as we enter 2021 the AKA has important legislative plans to help protect American kratom consumers.
     
    While we are always monitoring nationwide potential state and local bans, we are devoting significant resources and time to a number of states where the opportunity and need is most pressing.
     
    We encourage everyone to get involved in kratom advocacy through the Kratom Consumer Council, and to follow four simple steps for contacting elected officials found here: www.americankratom.org/advocacy/kcc/kcc-toolkit.html
     
    We wish everyone a Happy New Year and look forward to a successful 2021 working together!

    Do you have questions about kratom? Are you sometimes asked questions about kratom that you have a hard time answering? No problem, the AKA is here to help. 

    Earlier this year we published a Top Ten Answers to Common Questions about Kratom.

     

    Take a moment to review and share! 

    1) Is the FDA right that kratom is an unapproved drug?

     2) Is the FDA right that kratom is an opioid?

    3) Is FDA’s claim you can you overdose on kratom true?

    4) Is the FDA right that kratom is dangerously addictive?

    5) The FDA claims more than 44 people have died from kratom. Is that true?

    6) Can public health officials trust the FDA on kratom?

    7) The FDA claims kratom marketing is rampant with impermissible health claims. Is that true?

    8) The FDA warns that only FDA approved drugs can help in addiction recovery. It that true?

    9) Does the FDA influence and manipulate content of medical news articles about kratom?

    10) The FDA tells medical examiners to classify any death where kratom is detected as a kratom death. That’s bad science, but great propaganda for the FDA.

    DAYS THE FDA HAS IGNORED AKA’S MEETING REQUEST
