This is what happens when lobbyists disagree. Everyone loses. In this case, the Global Kratom Coalition and the American Kratom Association couldnât agree. Regulation in California is absolutely critical to the industry as it sets a standard for a lot of other states. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-08-15/kratom-bill-dies

I'm all for having a free open market but its hard to see a huge therapeutic benefit from 7-OH without increased risk. Which is cool if you know those risks and choose to use it. Bad players always fuck it up by pushing the envelope. If Holistic wants 7-OH to explored as an alternative to opioids for pain relief then they need to pony up the cash, organize and have some trials ran Hope yall don't get regulated to death

Prohibition of things like this just doesnât work though. With research chems, it doesnât matter how often you prohibit a substance, people will just make a new one by adding a random molecule to the chemical structure. Listen, I hate feel free with a passion bro. They do the industry dirty. But, the AKA is just a bunch of lobbyists with their hands out trying to control the industry. And they always do shit like this. They shoulda figured out how to work together but as always itâs about their own bullshit instead of the consumer.

Yeah I agree on prohibition part 100%, and I wouldnât want that. Have a regulated standard safe for consumers would be ideal I didnât hear the word lobbyist till 9 years ago but now I know how bills get passed or squashed đĄ

Thatâs what bothers me the most about the AKA. They arenât actually an advocacy org. Theyâre a lobbying arm. Itâs all about money for them.
