PHILADELPHIA — Pennsylvania state Rep. Scott Conklin was surprised how quickly a lobbyist from the American Kratom Association flew across the country to meet with him after he announced in April that he wanted to ban the unregulated herbal product that has been linked to numerous deaths.

The pressure didn’t stop there.

“I was inundated with kratom users,” said Conklin, a Centre County Democrat. There were well over 100 emails and phone calls. “Almost all of them were from out of my district and they were from all over the country.”

Currently, due to a lack of FDA oversight, there are no quality standards for CBD products and little consistency in the market, he said.

House Resolution 460 would encourage the FDA to provide guidelines for over-the-counter sales of kratom.
