Opposed. kratom.com supports regulation over prohibition.
Scheduling whole-leaf kratom would remove a category of botanical products that the current peer-reviewed literature does not support classifying as Schedule I. The Kratom Consumer Protection Act framework offers a proportionate alternative that addresses adulteration and youth access.
Kratom.com does not sell these products and supports their distinct regulatory treatment.
Concentrated 7-OH products — including synthetic variants and extracts taken well beyond natural leaf ratios — are a distinct product category requiring their own regulatory treatment. Federal action targeting these products specifically should not be conflated with action on whole-leaf material.
Supported. 21 years of age minimum at kratom.com.
kratom.com restricts all purchases (D2C and wholesale downstream) to buyers 21 or older, regardless of state minimums. We support state-level age-gating legislation at 21.
Supported. kratom.com meets the AKA GMP standard and provides lot-level CoAs.
Consumer product safety requires third-party testing for heavy metals, microbial contamination, adulteration, and alkaloid content, with lot-level certificates of analysis available to purchasers. kratom.com supports mandatory adoption of these standards.
