Dear Kratom Advocates, Hopefully you've heard by now but in case you missed it we made a big announcement for June in our national advocacy activity. On June 2, kratom advocates will take our message directly to Capitol Hill for the Advocacy Legislator Congressional Visit Day. 🏛️ This is more than a meeting day. It is a coordinated effort to put real people, real stories, and real consequences in front of congressional offices. Lawmakers need to hear from the people whose lives would be affected by restrictive policies, misinformation, or attempts to limit responsible kratom access. Then, on June 3, we will continue that momentum with a Congressional Briefing, where key information will be shared with members of Congress, staff, and policy leaders. 📍 Advocacy Legislator Congressional Visit Day Tuesday, June 2 🏛️ Congressional Briefing Wednesday, June 3 If you have ever wondered whether your voice matters, this is the moment to use it. 💪 Your story can change a conversation. Your presence can change a lawmaker’s perspective. Your advocacy can help protect kratom consumers nationwide. Learn more and register* *traveling to DC obviously takes time and costs money so we've asked supporting vendors to help advocates who want to come but need financial assistance. Indicate on the registration form and they'll connect with you protectkratom.org/register?emci=…

South Carolina LISTENED to us. The MDs in the story are HYPERBOLIC at best, but hey, it's a win, for now. NO BAN! 💪😁🌿 #KeepKratomLegal wistv.com/2026/05/11/sou…

Trump Says His Administration is Looking to Approve “Natural 7-OH”. Likely this is not a break from policy and he's referring to the naturally occurring trace amounts of 7-oh in plain leaf kratom kratomscience.com/2026/05/12/tru…

@Kpascuch Great news for now! Let's keep it that way! California is going, one little step at a time and not in a good way

New York seems to understand the value of Kratom. Suffolk county last night tabled. No ban. Let time run out 🙏🙏 #KeepKratomLegal

And we're worried about KRATOM? Suboxone is ABSOLUTELY an opioid! Thanks Bev!

Law enforcement is catching on to the deception. A police officer sets the record straight: the danger isn't natural kratom leaf, it's concentrated synthetic 7-OH falsely marketed as "kratom". Don't let synthetics hijack the plant's name. Video Source: Atwood Police Department/Facebook Share FAR AND WIDE!

@HaddowMac Love to be able 2 get off my butt & go! As much as kratom's done for me, it hasn't enabled me to be able to get on a plane & fly anywhere, let alone anywhere across the USA!! Unless & until it can, surgically repair bones in my skull or other areas of my body, I can't fly!!!

Legislator Visits: Tuesday June 2nd Time & Room: 8:30 am meet-up and then breaking into groups to visit specific Congressional offices. More details to come Congressional Briefing: Wednesday June 3rd Time & Room: 11 AM in HVC 201 protectkratom.org/register

Happy Mother’s Day 💐💚 Today we want to celebrate all of the incredible moms, grandmothers, bonus moms, and women who care for and support their families every single day.

No matter what your Mother’s Day looks like, I hope you take a moment to appreciate how much you do and how deeply you are loved. From our family to yours, thank you for your continued support and for allowing us to be a small part of your wellness journey. Wishing you a beautiful day filled with love, peace, and special moments with the people who matter most. 🌷✨ With love and gratitude, Sarah

@OGKratomQueen Its l3ss addictive than weed... like it isn't truly addictive. Any how I am back on fentanyl after a ban and my buddy died also sad cuz he left a son behind 😢

Kratom is “highly addictive even for people who aren’t addicts,” said Dr. Joe Desanto. “It’s an evil drug. I’m scared for the general public.” denverpost.com/2026/05/08/gas…

@Kpascuch @GovBillLee Absolutely ridiculous!! What a PAY OUT! HOW MUCH MONEY WERE YOU PAID

This is a shill ladies & gentlemen. Absolutely DISGUSTING what he did! @GovBillLee wants to put people IN PRISON for a tea leaf! #FELONY! Call his office. Don't let him forget how many lives he destroyed! 615-741-2001 Angry yet? What will he take from you next? #KeepKratomLegal

Dear Kratom Advocates, As we head into Mother’s Day weekend, the American Kratom Association wants to wish all the mothers, grandmothers, caregivers, and families in our community a very happy Mother’s Day. We also want to take a moment to thank every advocate who continues to stand up, speak out, and share their story in support of keeping kratom safe and accessible. Due to your continued advocacy, we are seeing encouraging signs out of South Carolina that the kratom ban activity there has lost momentum. That would not be possible without the tremendous efforts of advocates who emailed, called, showed up, and made sure lawmakers heard directly from responsible kratom consumers. Most state legislatures are now winding down and ending their sessions, and the AKA team will be providing a full recap and status report this Monday night, May 11, at 8:30 PM ET. We will also be announcing details on an upcoming Congressional Visit Day and Congressional Briefing, where advocates will have another important opportunity to help educate policymakers and protect kratom access at the federal level. Please register for the Monday night AKA update here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Why does the algorithm keep showing me this

Let’s not forget this landmark scientific validation: The American Herbal Products Association (AHPA) officially recognizes the safety profile of natural kratom leaf. The data confirms that serious adverse events are linked to adulterated or highly concentrated, isolated products, while none appear attributable to consuming natural kratom leaf.
