(OP) User ID: 6190086 United States 09/13/2016 03:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot of good information in this letter. DEA’s Action on Kratom Violates the US-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Agreement. DEA is unilaterally outlawing the possession of kratom at the same time that Health Canada, a regulatory agency with which the US coordinates closely, lists kratom as a permitted Natural Health Product (NHP). DEA’s action is particularly problematic since earlier this year the FDA recognized Canada as having a comparable food safety system to the US. DEA’s unilateral actions to declare illegal a botanical that is recognized by Health Canada as a Natural Health Product threatens the FDA’s regulatory recognition of Canada and with it the basis of US and Canadian regulatory cooperation.

UP User ID: 56430481 United States 09/13/2016 07:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Many have become resigned, feeling helpless and hopeless when it comes to keeping kratom legal. But there is reason for hope! In fact, a recent letter issued by the Center for Regulatory Effectiveness (CRE) offers several rays of hope. There are also a few additional developments that offer further reason to believe in the possibility that kratom could remain legal beyond September 30, 2016. In fact, the CRE is calling upon the DEA to take several actions, including delaying the Schedule I classification of kratom until July 1, 2017. Quoting: phocuss The CRE has sent a letter to acting DEA administrator Charles P. Rosenberg, informing him that “when 100,000 members of the public express outrage with a regulatory decision, it deserves a second look. Consequently, CRE, in its role as a nationally-recognized regulatory watchdog, is going to investigate this matter.” The CRE has reportedly received hundreds of letters, written by kratom advocates just like you who took the time to share your experiences with kratom. And your voice has been heard! The CRE is now calling for The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) parent agency, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), to take action. This agency has the ability to intervene with regulatory agencies such as the DEA. The CRE cited “a sharp disagreement among a number of federal agencies” as grounds for the proposed intervention. The CRE wrote, “If there were ever a time for an OMB intervention, this is it.” Read more here: [link to www.buykratom.us] That is a spectacular letter. This has given me some hope. |
