Oppose Kratom Ban Oneida County

Here is a copy of the email we will send to the Oneida County Board of Legislators on your behalf:  

 

Subject: Please Delay Oneida County’s Kratom Local Law

Dear Legislator,

I am writing to respectfully urge you to delay consideration of Oneida County’s proposed kratom local law until the New York State Legislature completes its work on statewide kratom regulation.

New York has already enacted labeling and ingredient-disclosure requirements for kratom products, and the Legislature is considering the New York Kratom Consumer Protection Act. A statewide approach will provide consistent standards for product safety, labeling, and consumer protection while avoiding a patchwork of local laws that create confusion for residents and businesses.

If the Board believes local action is absolutely necessary before state action, I respectfully ask that you pursue commonsense regulations instead of a blanket ban on natural kratom.

Responsible adults across New York use natural kratom leaf products, and public policy should distinguish these products from synthetic or adulterated substances that may warrant stricter oversight.

[Please share your personal experience or explain why this issue matters to you.]

Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

[City/Town], New York
