Adds to existing law to provide for the Idaho Kratom Consumer Protection Act.
KRATOM -- Adds to existing law to provide for the Idaho Kratom Consumer Protection Act.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Kratom is a naturally grown tree, which comes from the coffee family and originates in South East Asia. It has been used for centuries in South East Asia and since the early 1970's in the United States. Kratom can be used to give a boost of energy, to improve focus, and has helped many with pain management. The most common way to use kratom is brewing it as a tea, but it can also be found as a powder, in capsules, pills or a liquid tincture. Consumers are put at risk with adulterated and misbranded kratom products. This legislation provides for definitions of kratom, bans the sale of adulterated or synthetic kratom products in Idaho, and provides for violations for those who sell adulterated or synthetic kratom products.
