Kratom update
An article on May 12 in The Commercial Dispatch stated that 28 cities and counties have passed the kratom ban. The actual number is 33 and growing. On behalf of our task force we would like to thank all who have worked so hard to make this a reality. We would especially like to thank all of the governmental officials in these various cities and counties for stepping up to protect the safety and welfare of their citizens.
