California Proposes Kratom Safety Act to Regulate Herbal Supplement

In response to growing safety concerns over kratom, Assemblymember Matt Haney from San Francisco has introduced Assembly Bill 2365, known as the Kratom Safety Act. This new legislation aims to tighten regulations on the sale of kratom in California, focusing on product purity and consumer safety. The bill proposes banning the sale of adulterated kratom products, requires rigorous testing, registration with the California Department of Public Health, and restricts sales to those over 21. As the popularity of this herbal supplement increases, California seeks to set a standard in regulating its use to prevent health risks associated with unregulated products.
