Philly ban passed to next step
Very very disappointed how this went in our own city today. They stated no one wrote in written public testimony which we know is a lie but she stated no one asked for it to go on public comment so that was sneaky that you had to ask! 2nd all the hearings and fighting we do and not one person could come stand up there with us from the area that was not a v3nd0r is heartbreaking. This next hearing is going to be in front of all 17 city council members it was voted today to pass on to a full vote. Just remember guys if they get this banned for s@l3 without fd@ approval the next step will be to get it fully banned. They need true stories in their court room they need saved faces. There were more people there for this bill than against it and with all the people we have in the area that is just totally wrong. I understand it was short notice, people have work ,kids ect but we need bodies at this next one if Philly goes down I promise you all cities surrounding will follow suit!!!
@everyone
Oak Point, TX - Kratom Sales Ban
The misinformation is appalling!
Oak Point, TX
Denton County, Texas
City Ordinance 2026-05-677
Oak Point City Hall
100 Naylor Road
Oak Point, Texas 75068
Misinformed city council members pass city ordinance introduced by Chief of Police Douglas Tatu to ban all kratom products. This is likely due to the prevalence of illegal 7OH products on the market, and NOT plain leaf kratom.
VOTE RESULTS:
PASSED 4-2
Dena Meek - Mayor YEA
Paul Bastaich - Councilmember - YEA
John Lusk - Councilmember YEA
Greg Weiler - Councilmember YEA
Scott Dufford - Mayor Pro Tem - NAY
Kirk Hawrysio - Deputy Mayor Pro Tem - NAY
Larry D'Amato - Councilmember (ABSENT / NO VOTE)
This city ordinance effectively bans the sale of kratom within the city limits. At the time of this recording, this does not criminalize possession.

Philadelphia Kratom Hearing Thursday May 21 — Bill 260163 Contains a Hidden De Facto Ban — Comment by Wednesday 3 PM
Pennsylvania community — this is happening Thursday.
Philadelphia's Bill 260163 looks like regulation on the surface — it includes a 2% 7-OH cap, lab testing, labeling requirements, and a 21+ age restriction. But buried in Section 9-6702(4) is a provision that effectively bans all natural kratom in the city.
The bill requires FDA approval under Section 505 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act for all kratom products. Section 505 is a pharmaceutical drug approval process — it does not apply to natural botanical products. No natural kratom product can satisfy this standard. In practice, no kratom retailer could obtain the required license. The result is a total ban through the back door.
The hearing is Thursday May 21 at 12:00 PM, Room 400, City Hall, Philadelphia.
The most impactful action:
▪ Sign up to speak by calling (215) 686-3406 or emailing chiefclerk@phila.gov by Wednesday May 20 at 3 PM.
▪ Submit written comments to chiefclerk@phila.gov — preferably as a PDF — by Wednesday at 3 PM.
▪ Show up day-of and check in at the desk. ▪ Share your personal story.
Suggested message: "Please oppose the FDA drug approval requirement in Section 9-6702(4). This standard does not apply to natural botanical products and creates a de facto ban on natural kratom in Philadelphia. Support targeted regulation instead — age restrictions, lab testing, and clear labeling."

🚨Important Update For New York
Washington County Board of Supervisors will meet tomorrow — Friday, May 15 — to vote on final passage of a measure that would prohibit the sale of kratom and products containing kratom.
This meeting comes as DEA scheduling of concentrated synthetic 7-OH products is imminent. Other jurisdictions across New York, including Suffolk County, have opted to delay their blanket ban proposals given the forthcoming federal scheduling action.
Washington County’s misguided proposal could result in a blanket ban on all kratom products countywide. That’s why we need advocates to attend the meeting in person or submit public comments voicing their opposition and calling for commonsense regulation.
📍 Washington County Board of Supervisors Meeting
When: Friday, May 15 at 10 a.m. ET
Where: Supervisors’ Chambers, 2nd Floor, Building B, County Municipal Center, 383 Broadway, Fort Edward, NY 12828
In-Person Engagement: Show up in person to call for commonsense regulatory policies such as age restrictions, mandatory third-party testing, and labeling requirements.
Written Engagement: Submit public comment regarding the proposal (Introductory Local Law “E” of 2026)

Anyone try Kratom Hive?
I found an ad on Facebook and picked up a split kilo for $50 but it’s my first time trying them. Wondering if anyone has tried their products before? I usually just stick with Philly Kratom but figured for $50 I couldn’t go wrong with a split kilo from these guys
