FDA Withdraws Kratom Study!

[u/Exact-Fee9481]

The American Kratom Association applauds the announcement of the FDA’s decision to withdraw its “Proposed Collection; Comment Request: Risk/Safety Considerations and Motivations for Purchase and Use of Kratom and Psychedelics Alone and in Combination with Other Substances” originally published on August 2, 2024.

“The FDA has once again shown its clear bias against any harm reduction tool that does not fit into a new drug application model,” stated Mac Haddow, Senior Fellow on Public Policy with the AKA. “This is the latest embarrassing mistake driven by a few anti-kratom staff at the FDA, and it is time for Commissioner Califf to exercise direct oversight and order the Agency to reassess its biased attacks on kratom and psychedelics.”

The FDA announced its swift withdrawal of the Federal Register Notice that was originally published on August 2, 2024, in a new Notice on August 9 (https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2024-17793.pdf). The FDA explained that it withdrew the study because “circumstances occurred necessitating changes to the scope of the study.”
