In a significant move to regulate the kratom industry, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed into law new legislation aimed at ensuring consumer safety. The bill, which took effect on July 1, introduces strict guidelines for the production and sale of kratom, an herbal supplement derived from a Southeast Asian tree.
The new law mandates clear labeling of kratom products, including ingredient lists and warnings against use by minors. It also sets limits on the concentration of kratom’s active compounds and prohibits the sale of adulterated or contaminated products.
Supporters of the legislation argue that it strikes a balance between protecting consumers and maintaining access for adults who use kratom. The move comes amid growing national debate over the safety and regulation of this increasingly popular herbal supplement.
