In a significant legislative move, Georgia Governor has signed a new law that places stringent regulations on the sale and production of kratom, a plant-based supplement used for pain, anxiety, and opioid withdrawal. The new law, set to take effect on January 1, mandates that kratom products can only be sold to individuals over the age of 21 and must be stored in areas accessible only to store employees. Additionally, the law imposes strict labeling requirements and sets penalties for violations, including potential felonies for processors and retailers not complying with the guidelines. This move aims to enhance consumer safety and ensure regulated use of kratom, addressing concerns about its addictive properties and potential health risks.
