Two more states set to ban kratom, a controversial herbal stimulant
Kratom belongs to the same family as coffee, but it has a far more complicated reputation.
Legislators in two additional U.S. states are preparing to prohibit kratom, a plant related to coffee. Kratom has a complex reputation due to its stimulant effects and potential for dependence. Lawmakers cite health concerns and the risk of addiction as reasons for the bans. Advocacy groups argue the bans will limit access to a natural alternative for pain relief. The upcoming votes could bring the total number of states restricting kratom to eight. Public hearings are scheduled to discuss scientific evidence and regulatory options.
The bans could affect millions of users and shape national policy on herbal supplements.
