With the Texas Senate back in special session... there has been a lot of discussion about THC-- but there is something else that is starting raise concern about how it's being used.
It's called Kratom and it too, is actively being discussed for possible regulation or ban by the Texas State Legislature this year.
The key bill is Senate Bill 1868.
This bill proposes to add kratom and its active compounds to Penalty Group 1 of the Texas Controlled Substances Act.
Classification in Penalty Group 1 would make the manufacture, distribution, sale, or possession of kratom a felony offense, effectively banning it in Texas if the bill becomes law3.
