  • Your Message

    Please add your message (see suggestions below this form). It is IMPERATIVE that you include an original subject & add personal anecdotes. We need legislators to understand that these are authentic stories from real people.
  • Please send your unique message in the form above - Your legislators want to hear YOUR voice and YOUR story. Here is a sample letter (please DO NOT copy and paste; our efforts are more effective if they are individualized):

    I am writing in regards to SB 2258 and HB 1832, which are attempting to schedule constituent alkaloids in the plant leaf kratom: Mitragynine & 7-Hydroxymitragynine. I urge you to remove all kratom language from these bills.

    University professors and scientists, world-renowned addiction experts, and the nation's leading toxicologists came together to produce not one, but two 8 Factor Analyses totaling 383 pages of factual scientific data highlighting the positive safety profile, non-addictive potential, and overall low abuse profile of kratom. The most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System and published in the journal Clinical Toxicology shows "no deaths whatsoever from dietary supplements across the board or any other dietary ingredient." Scientific study has proven that mitragynine, a natural constituent of the kratom leaf, will not cause respiratory depression, which is how most opiate overdose deaths occur.

    Given these facts, there is more than enough research and evidence in support of kratom being a safe herb that millions of Americans use to support their health and overall well-being. We understand your legislature's desire to uphold public health and safety, and we share the common goal of seeing unsafe products removed from the market. However, we politely ask that the you remove from kratom from SB 2258 and HB 1832, as it does not meet the qualifications for a Schedule I substance. The peer reviewed science and research that was requested by our elected officials and the DEA is still fresh from last year.

    In light of the above, I am asking that you please reconsider banning kratom in Tennessee and remove all kratom language from SB 2258 and HB 1832.
