“We have identified kratom as a botanical substance that poses a risk to public health and has the potential for abuse,” said Melinda Plaisier, the FDA’s associate commissioner for regulatory affairs. “This action was taken to safeguard the public from this dangerous product, and FDA will continue to take aggressive enforcement actions against products that are promoted for uses that are unapproved.”

The FDA is fed up with mindless idiots making the claims that this herb can be a natural pain killer/stimulant and this is exactly what put kratom on their radar in the first place. Capsules, extracts, flashy packaging it's all to blame. Market it as a non-consumable for Christ's sake!

LoL that they consider kratom a new drug. Piggies piggy backing on the RC craze I see.

I heard about this at the local kava watering hole. It's becoming so god-damned popular and all kinds of federal agencies are taking notice. I have several trees growing already and intend to ramp my supply up over the next 6 months.

They have all the rights, everything you have is a privilege for them to take away if you do not obey.

Public health risk or not, kratom is not illegal. They are going to have to fight in getting it all back though with time and money.
