Will Kratom Show Up on a Drug Test? And What Can You Do About It?
Kratom’s popularity throughout the U.S. isn’t slowing down, but it’s also safe to say kratom...
View PostMany residents and visitors in Massachusetts are curious about the legal status of kratom. While some states have banned its sale, Massachusetts has taken a more open-minded stance.
Fortunately, kratom remains legal for both sale and possession in the Bay State. This allows enthusiasts to purchase it from local vendors or online retailers. However, it’s important to stay informed as legal perspectives on kratom can change.
For years, kratom has been a hotly debated topic across the nation. In 2016, the DEA announced plans to classify kratom as a Schedule I controlled substance, which would have rendered it illegal nationwide. However, due to significant public outcry and the efforts of advocacy groups like the American Kratom Association (AKA), the DEA withdrew their intention.
The decision not to schedule kratom as a controlled substance in Massachusetts doesn’t signify the end of the fight. While kratom enthusiasts and advocacy groups work to keep the plant legal, they also push for regulations to ensure product safety.
In 2023, Massachusetts lawmakers introduced House Bill 3762, a version of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act. Key provisions of the bill include:
As of April 2024, the Massachusetts Senate has concurred with House Bill 3762, which has been forwarded to the Joint Committee on the Judiciary. Once signed into law by the governor, this bill will allow Massachusetts residents to continue purchasing kratom under regulated conditions, ensuring product safety.
The kratom industry, led by organizations like the American Kratom Association (AKA), strongly supports FDA regulation over an outright ban. Regulation provides oversight in kratom production, marketing, and distribution, ensuring safer consumer access. This approach aligns with Golden Monk’s mission to promote quality and safety in the kratom market.
Golden Monk collaborates with the AKA to encourage states to adopt Kratom Consumer Protection Acts (KCPA). These local regulations aim to benefit millions of Americans using kratom for health and wellness by establishing a safer, more transparent industry.
Golden Monk and the AKA support regulatory measures for several key reasons:
By advocating for regulation over prohibition, the kratom industry aims to protect consumers and ensure the responsible use and sale of kratom, thereby enhancing both trust and safety in the market.
As kratom laws continue to evolve, it’s essential to stay informed about where kratom is currently legal.
While kratom is legal in Massachusetts, it’s crucial to recognize that laws vary significantly across each state. When traveling, avoid transporting kratom into areas where it is illegal.
Massachusetts has several brick-and-mortar kratom vendors, primarily located in and around Boston. However, the best deals and highest quality kratom are generally found online.
