Congressman Mark Pocan had a productive conversation with the acting administrator today and learned that the DEA will be not announcing a final decision on kratom today. September 30th simply marked the 30 day period, required by statute, the DEA had to wait. It appears the DEA will instead open up a modified comment process before a final decision will be made. While we do not know the exacting timing or details of the new comment period for kratom, Acting Administrator Rosenberg assured Congressman Pocan that we will find out more in the near future.”
