AKA email - 04/01/19 - regarding proposed kratom ban in St. Johns County, FL

Florida Kratom Warriors,


KRATOM WARRIORS NEED TO SPEAK OUT!

TOMORROW (04/02/19), the St. Johns County Board of Commissioners will be meeting and will hear presentation on Kratom.

AKA’s lobbyist in Florida has contacted several of the St. Johns County Commissioners and they want to hear from kratom consumers before they make a final decision.

The FDA has been working overtime to flood state and local officials with their inaccurate information about kratom. The FDA is hoping they can get local governments around the country to pass anti-kratom regulations because they know the AKA does not have the resources to deploy lobbyists in every county or town in America.

At the state level, we are winning with the Kratom Consumer Protection Act, and the FDA knows it.

But they use our tax dollars to spread their lies and misinformation about kratom, and their target is now local city, town, and county governments.

BUT THIS IS NOT A DONE DEAL IN ST. JOHNS COUNTY – WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Every Kratom Warrior who is able to do so should attend this important meeting.

I wrote in and got 3 responses.

One of them said: "Thank you. I appreciate your feedback on this important issue.


I am not interested in creating more government regulation to ban drugs in the County or in creating an ordinance that
interferes with informed adults making an informed decision. That’s not our role as a Commission. However, preventing marketing and access to underage children is something that I am willing to consider in an ordinance. I am open minded to hearing both sides of this issue and considering reasonable options. "
