Louisiana’s Kratom Ban: What You Need to Know

by

In a move shaking the Kratom community, Louisiana lawmakers have approved a bill banning Kratom statewide. After votes of 86–6 in the House and 26–11 in the Senate, the bill was sent to Governor Jeff Landry, who signed it into law. The ban will officially take effect on August 1, 2025.

This legislation, sponsored by Senator Jay Morris and presented in the House by Rep. Debbie Villio, paints Kratom as dangerous and unregulated. Villio called Kratom “cloaked in deception” and claimed it was contributing to youth harm. She went as far as to call it “gas station heroin,” despite limited research to support these claims.

Opponents like Rep. Peter Egan fought back, noting that over 300,000 Louisianians use Kratom responsibly. He argued that “those who use leaf Kratom want to live normal, stable lives.” His proposed amendments to preserve access to unadulterated Kratom were rejected.

Why This Ban Matters

This is the first state-level Kratom ban to pass since 2017—a troubling signal for the entire industry. If left unchallenged, it sets a precedent that other states may follow. It also raises questions about political motivations, especially given that Senator Morris has accepted significant campaign contributions from pharmaceutical interests known to oppose natural alternatives like Kratom.

This underscores the importance of unified advocacy. Without action, we risk more misinformation-based bans that hurt responsible consumers and push Kratom into the shadows rather than regulating it safely.

Growing Green: Ethical Concerns In The Kratom Industry

by

Welcome back, Left Coast Kratom community! Today, we are delving into a vital and often overlooked aspect of the Kratom industry: ethics. From responsible sourcing to sustainability, the ethical considerations in the Kratom industry extend beyond the surface. Join us as we unpack these issues and discuss the importance of ethical practices in the Kratom supply chain.

Why Does Ethical Sourcing Matter?

Just like the journey of a coffee bean from farm to cup, Kratom leaves undergo a complex journey from the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia to your doorstep. Ethical sourcing refers to the responsibility of ensuring this journey respects both people and the environment. Here are some reasons why it matters:

Workers’ Rights

At the start of the Kratom journey are the farmers and harvesters. These individuals are often local residents of the Southeast Asian regions where Kratom grows naturally. It’s crucial that these workers receive fair wages, work under safe conditions, and that their rights are respected.

Environmental Impact

Kratom, or Mitragyna Speciosa, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. The rapid growth of the Kratom industry can lead to exploitation and unsustainable harvesting practices, potentially harming these lush ecosystems. Ethical sourcing ensures that harvesting is done sustainably, preserving the environment for future generations.

Sustainable Harvesting: A Crucial Part of Ethical Kratom

Sustainable harvesting ensures that the natural environments where Kratom grows are not depleted or damaged. This involves practices like not over-harvesting trees, allowing trees to mature fully before harvesting, and responsibly planting new trees to replace those that have been harvested.

These practices ensure that the delicate balance of these ecosystems is maintained, preserving biodiversity and allowing the Kratom industry to thrive without causing ecological harm.

Fair Trade: Ensuring Equitable Practices

Fair trade practices play an essential role in the ethical Kratom industry. This involves establishing direct relationships with Kratom farmers, ensuring they are paid a fair wage for their labor, and providing them with the tools and knowledge to sustainably harvest and produce Kratom. Fair trade practices create a more equitable Kratom industry where every individual along the supply chain benefits.

Transparent Supply Chains: Knowing Where Your Kratom Comes From

Transparency in the Kratom industry involves companies being open about their sourcing and production processes. This means sharing information about where the Kratom is grown, how it is harvested, and how it is processed. Transparent supply chains allow consumers to make informed decisions and support companies that uphold ethical practices.

The Role of Consumers in Ethical Kratom Sourcing

As consumers, each one of us plays a vital role in supporting ethical practices in the Kratom industry. By choosing to purchase Kratom from vendors that prioritize ethical sourcing, fair trade, and transparency, we can help drive demand for ethical Kratom and influence positive change within the industry.

At Left Coast Kratom, we’re proud to uphold these values. We’re dedicated to providing high-quality, ethically sourced Kratom, maintaining a transparent supply chain, and supporting the hardworking farmers who make our business possible. We believe that together, we can make a difference and ensure that the Kratom industry continues to grow in a way that benefits both people and the planet.

Ethics in the Kratom industry is an ongoing conversation, one that involves everyone from farmers and harvesters to vendors and consumers. By keeping these conversations alive, we can continue to learn, improve, and ensure that the Kratom industry thrives ethically and sustainably for generations to come.

Do you live an active lifestyle that frequently puts you on the road? Do you also enjoy Kratom? Well, then we have some products for you.

No more worrying about carrying messy Kratom powder or measuring the right serving size of Kratom. There are better ways to enjoy your Kratom when you’re not at home.

In this blog post, we will be looking at a few of our best options.

Kratom Shots & Extracts

Kratom shots and extracts are not only convenient but also come in compact bottles that are easy to store and carry. They provide a quick and efficient way to incorporate Kratom into your busy lifestyle. When it comes to their composition, it’s essential to understand the distinctions between Kratom shots and extracts.

Kratom shots typically contain Kratom extract as their primary ingredient, combined with other components commonly found in energy drinks. Essentially, Kratom shots are like energy drinks with the added benefit of a serving of Kratom.

On the other hand, Kratom extracts are highly concentrated forms of Kratom. They deliver the highest serving size possible and are renowned for their concentration. You can easily incorporate a small amount of Kratom extract into your preferred beverages, such as coffee, tea, or juice, or even add it to various food items like brownies, salads, and desserts.

Kratom Tablets, Capsules, & Softgels

Capsules, tablets, and softgels of Kratom are notably convenient and user-friendly, topping the list of easy-to-use options. Their portability makes them a perfect companion, no matter where you’re heading. When the mood strikes, you can simply slip one or two into your mouth discreetly.

Nonetheless, it’s important to ensure that the elements composing the capsules, tablets, or softgels, such as the capsule shells or gel materials, do not raise concerns. For example, Kraken Kratom takes pride in its commitment to use 100% vegan components, which are devoid of any preservatives, gelatin, wheat, starch, or animal derivatives in the manufacturing of its Kratom products.

Kratom Tea Bags

For enthusiasts of tea, Kratom tea bags from Left Coast Kratom offer the perfect fusion of convenience and discretion. These user-friendly tea bags make for an ideal companion for on-the-move Kratom users. Simply add them to hot water, let it infuse for a while, and voila – your Kratom tea is ready to savor.

Much like traditional tea bags, these ones are packed with finely crushed Kratom leaves. Most manufacturers explicitly state the alkaloid content per tea bag on their product labels, enabling an informed choice. Additionally, Kratom tea bags typically come in larger quantities, making them a cost-effective option for bulk purchases. For instance, Left Coast Kratom guarantees a dozen tea bags in each package, irrespective of the strain you opt for.

Kratom Gummies

Gummies have an irresistible charm that appeals to all – be it children, adults, or the elderly. Recognizing this universal love for gummies, the Kratom industry didn’t waste any time in presenting Kratom-infused gummies. These gummies, radiant and bursting with flavor, have revolutionized the Kratom experience.

These gummies are endowed with a measured quantity of potent Kratom extract. To ensure clarity for their customers, vendors generally specify the extract concentration or alkaloid content present in their gummies, enabling users to accurately gauge the ideal serving size.

Left Coast Kratom, a renowned name in the industry, brings to the table Kratom gummies in an enticing array of flavors and colors – including raspberry, orange, and key lime. The all-natural formulation of Left Coast Kratom gummies comprises corn syrup, sugar, water, pectin, citric acid, Kratom extract, and natural flavors and colors. These gummies are free from any artificial preservatives, thereby aligning with the company’s commitment to quality and natural ingredients.

Kratom Honey Sticks

In an industry known for creative and innovative consumption methods, Kratom honey sticks offered by Left Coast Kratom stand out as a clever invention. Essentially, these are honey-infused Kratom teas, stylishly encapsulated within convenient plastic sticks. But their practicality extends far beyond this. Kratom honey sticks not only ensure portability of your Kratom, they also enable discreet consumption. After all, who would give a second glance to someone casually enjoying their honey stick?

Each Kratom honey stick is accompanied by detailed information on its alkaloid content. These handy sticks go beyond convenience and extend to versatility as well. They can be incorporated into your tea, juice, or any other sweet beverage, giving it a delightful Kratom twist.
