Virginia has a passed and governor has signed into law kratom consumer protection act. Making a harmless herb schedule 1 which means no medicinal value is is not the right decision. Virginia is one of 11 states in the United States to enact legislation on the sale of Kratom

Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed SB 1108, the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) into law after it passed Virginia’s House and Senate.

Kratom comes from the leaves of the Mitragyna speciosa tree in Indonesia, Thailand and other parts of Asia and is usually consumed by boiling the leaves to make tea or grinding them up to put in food. An herbal supplement, Kratom has been used for centuries safely.  The Virginia Kratom Consumer Protection Act  regulates the manufacture and distribution of kratom, ensures and enforces proper labeling and instills age limits on its use. This is sensible legislation that has gone  through rigorous legislative process and its sponsors have looked at the whole picture.
