The fight for kratom in Ohio!

KEEP KRATOM LEGAL IN OHIO!!

I Have many friends in ohio that rely on kratom to keep them safe and out of harms way. Ohio is a war zone for drugs and Negativity. The Ohio state board of pharmacy has a choice on there hands today. Many ppl that need kratom for there livelyhood are more than just the young. I personally help more than 3 senior citizens use kratom to just get out of the bed and or work a normal job. Don't let ohio kill kratom in its infancy.. Support the cause today and everyday!!!! #kratomsaveslives #kratominohio #wearekratom

I didn't know they were voting already today. You'd think the AKA would've sent out another email. Anxious to hear how it goes, really hope it goes well.

I do too. I don't like the idea of some bunch of bought "professionals" dictating laws for corporate profits.

And its not even the idea that its. Just another state losimg there rights, its that every state they knock down gives them motivation and momentum. We cannot allow 2019 to be another 2018

THANK YOU KRATOM WARRIORS:

Ohio Board of Pharmacy Defers Vote on Kratom

In a meeting of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy this morning on the proposed ban on kratom, the Board decided to defer any action until additional information is obtained on a number of key questions on the science relating to safety and addiction potential of the kratom plant versus adulterated kratom products. The next discussion on kratom is scheduled to take place in the March 2019 Board of Pharmacy meeting.

Our message that natural kratom is safe and has an addiction profile similar to caffeine is getting through, and our voices were clearly recognized at that meeting.

The Executive Director of the Board of Pharmacy told the Board about the thousands of comments received during the comment period, and mentioned the more than 450 emails received yesterday, and acknowledged that many kratom consumers are deeply concerned about the proposed ban. While the Board of Pharmacy Staff itself appears supportive of a ban on kratom, the Board Members themselves remain unconvinced and there may be some reasonable restrictions that would be acceptable to the staff and the Board of Pharmacy to join us in our commitment to protect the public safety with a safe supply chain of kratom products.

The American Kratom Association will continue to work with our Ohio lobbyist and with Ohio officials to make certain there is a clear understanding of the science on kratom and its safe use. We are deeply appreciative of everyone who has helped us work with the Board of Pharmacy, and look forward to continuing those efforts.
