Great News out of Nevada:
The Nevada Board of Pharmacy has decided to pull the hearing on kratom
from their agenda after a torrent of comments from the kratom community,
and legal measures pursued by the AKA to question their processes. This is a tremendous victory for kratom protection in Nevada and across America.
The BOP in Nevada can't bring it back for scheduling consideration this
year, and the AKA will closely monitor the situation for future bans as
obviously kratom's opponents are still active. Thank you to everyone who commented and was planning on coming to Vegas. We will not be holding the events on the 13th and 14th in Vegas now since the public hearing has been called off.
The response from the kratom community has been tremendous and really
made the difference. There are still BOP staff who oppose kratom
legality, but the outpouring from the AKA legislative team and kratom
protectors made them change their mind on proceeding with trying to
criminalize kratom.
Although this means changing plans for next week for all those planning
on attending the events, this is ultimately a huge victory (and many may still want to go to Las Vegas next week to celebrate.) |
