🌿 Looking for Kratom vendors I personally recommend? See my list here πŸ‘‡ kratomstoriespodcast.com/ven… I put together a page featuring companies I know, trust, and feel good about supporting. These are also the companies I purchase my own Kratom from. And they don’t just sell Kratom. They help educate consumers and advocate for keeping natural Kratom accessible.

This is Kratom! 🌿
Look at me being a productive member of society! This was my VERY first time voting ever. Kratom has saved my life! Years ago when I was using I had no idea what was going around in the world around me. All I cared about was my next fix and I would do anything to get it. I was strung out and a completely different person. I didn’t care about anything much less voting. I was a terrible person. Natural botanical leaf Kratom tea gave me my life back. Now I care about being informed and I care about what is going on around me. I’m considerate by Advocate not only for Kratom but for animals as well and people. I am no longer cooped up, locked in the bathroom searching my arms to get rigged up. I am a proud mother, I work full-time, and I’m just a few months away from getting my degree in psychology. It is heartbreaking to see these officials try to take away this Botanical plant that has saved my life and other people’s lives as well.

Kratom policy moves fast.
We move faster β€” together. Every day, a city council, state legislature, or federal agency decides something about kratom. Most advocates don't hear about it until it's too late. iKratom flips that. We track every bill, hearing, and ordinance in the United States, surface the ones that affect you, write the letter to your specific legislators, and put a one-click send button on it. You decide what to say. We make it possible to actually say it. ikratom.org

I've spent over a decade in the kratom industry, and one thing hasn't changed: People deserve the freedom to make informed decisions about their own wellness. 🌿 Plant medicine isn't some new trend. Humans have turned to plants for thousands of years. That doesn't mean every plant is harmless or that we shouldn't have safety standards. It means we should be having honest conversations about research, responsible use, education, and regulation instead of pushing fear and misinformation. I'm not against regulation. I've never been. I'm against taking away responsible adult choices instead of addressing the actual problems. Regulate responsibly. Educate honestly. Respect adult choice. πŸ’š #PlantMedicine #KratomAdvocacy #KratomCommunity #BotanicalWellness #AdultChoice #RegulateDontBan

The government is creating the narrative they want you to believe about a plant called kratom. Right now, kratom is losing in the court of public opinion and that’s exactly what the government wants. Same narrative was used with OxyContin/Sackler family even though Purdue had 3% of the overall opioid market. The war on kratom is about 3 things: lawsuits against kratom manufacturers & distributors, getting kratom users hooked on the highly addictive opioid Suboxone, and securing opioid settlement dollars to further fund the anti-kratom narrative. And Andrew Kolodny of @BrandeisU is at the root of this evil

The Suboxone for kratom grift continues Absolutely insane. Psychiatry has done such a thorough job of discrediting itself that its credibility within medicine deserves serious scrutiny.

Before lawmakers make decisions about Kratom, I wish more of them would sit down with the people who actually consume it. Not just industry representatives. Not just advocacy organizations. Everyday people who can explain what Kratom means in their lives.

NEW: Louisiana added MGPI, MGM-15, and MGM-16 to its Schedule I list by emergency rule, according to the Louisiana Department of Health. This state action names specific derivatives; it is separate from the pending federal 7-OH threshold proposal. ldh.la.gov/news/7818

Local officials don't seem to be getting the message that HHS has been putting out since July 2025 and recently emphasized here on Twitter that natural leaf kratom (also known as "kratom") should be legal and only 7OH/MP should be banned
Hillsborough County commissioners are taking a closer look at banning Kratom products. wfla.com/news/hillsborough-c…

MONTANA KRATOM ALERT MISSOULA COUNTY, MONTANA β€” PAY ATTENTION!*πŸ‘€ Beginning after **November 2, 2026**, the Missoula County Health Department plans to enforce restrictions on kratom food and drink products at licensed retail food businesses. THIS INCLUDES TRADITIONAL BOTANICAL KRATOM POWDER ⚠️ **IMPORTANT:** This is enforcement of existing food regulations, NOT a new countywide ban on possessing kratom. But that doesn't mean it won't affect consumers and small businesses. And let's not forget the small businesses trying to navigate an increasingly complicated patchwork of local rules. One county allows something. Another restricts it. And consumers are left trying to figure out what's actually legal. πŸ™„ MONTANA KRATOM COMMUNITY, PAY ATTENTION! Local enforcement decisions matter just as much as statewide legislation. #Kratom #Montana #MissoulaCounty #KratomAdvocacy #KratomRegulation #ConsumerRights #SmallBusiness

NEW MEXICO KRATOM ALERT! ANOTHER CITY IS TIGHTENING RESTRICTIONS! 🌿 ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO β€” PAY ATTENTION! πŸ‘€ Today, October 22, 2026, Albuquerque is holding a public hearing on food and retail regulations that specifically address kratom. πŸ“ Vincent Griego Council Chambers ⏰ 11 AM–1 PM Mountain Time Here's what people need to understand. ALBUQUERQUE ALREADY ENFORCES KRATOM RESTRICTIONS AT FOOD-PERMITTED RETAILERS. Today's rulemaking would formalize regulatory language rather than introduce the city's first restrictions. And YES, this matters for traditional botanical kratom, not just concentrated 7-OH products! ⚠️ IMPORTANT: This is a regulatory hearing, NOT an announcement of a newly enacted citywide kratom ban. πŸ’š NEW MEXICO KRATOM COMMUNITY, STAY INFORMED! Local decisions matter, and consumers deserve a voice in the process. REGULATION. TRANSPARENCY. ACCOUNTABILITY. NOT BLANKET PROHIBITION! 🌿 #Kratom #NewMexico #Albuquerque #KratomAdvocacy #KratomRegulation #ConsumerRights #SmallBusiness

Here's something I wish every journalist covering Kratom understood: Natural Kratom leaf, concentrated extracts, 7OH, and newer chemically modified compounds aren't interchangeable. The details matter, especially when you're reporting information to the public.

A reminder to everyone who follows me here. πŸ’š I consume natural Kratom, but my advocacy isn't limited to people who use the same products I do. Our community includes natural Kratom consumers, 7OH consumers, and people who use both. I share information that affects ALL of us. Sharing news isn't taking sides. I'm here for the people, especially those suffering from chronic pain.
Thank you so much to the @kratomgals for having our Executive Director on. Jackie had a great time and we appreciate our friendship as we continue to fight for chronic pain patients across the nation! Check it out πŸ‘‡ #weareallkratom

This is what so many Kratom consumers have been saying for YEARS! We aren't asking for an unregulated marketplace. We want responsible regulation that protects consumers while preserving adult access. Why is prohibition always being presented as the answer when there are better options? Well said, Sarah! πŸ’š
Here's a question for everyone demanding kratom bans. πŸ‘€ If consumer safety is REALLY the goal, why aren't we focusing on age restrictions, independent lab testing, honest labeling, and holding bad actors accountable? I've spent over a decade in this industry, and I've NEVER been against responsible regulation. What I'm against is using fear-driven headlines, leaving out important facts, and twisting the truth to fit a particular narrative. You can support consumer safety AND adult choice. Why is that such a controversial concept? πŸ’š #kratom #kratomsaves

I've been consuming natural Kratom for more than 7 years, and I still believe one of the most important things we can do is share our personal experiences. People who have never heard of Kratom need to hear from the people whose lives have been impacted by it. 🌿
