Why this petition matters

Started by Faris Al-Khouri

As a person deeply involved in the world of Kratom, I have seen its transformative power. I’ve witnessed people find solace, relief, and renewed energy through this remarkable supplement. It’s not just a botanical product; it’s a lifeline for many.

Kratom is derived from the Mitragyna speciosa tree and has been used for centuries due to its medicinal properties. It has helped countless individuals manage pain, anxiety, and other health conditions. In fact, according to a survey conducted by Pain News Network in 2017 involving over 6,000 kratom users across the United States, nearly 90% reported that kratom was very effective for managing pain (Pain News Network).

The proposed ban on Kratom by Newport Beach City Council is not just an infringement on individual rights but also an obstruction to potential health benefits that many residents could reap from this natural supplement.

I urge you all – let’s not shut our doors on this invaluable resource. Instead of banning it outrightly let us champion education about it and implement responsible regulation. Let us empower our people with informed choices about their health and well-being.

Please sign this petition urging the Newport Beach City Council to reconsider their decision on implementing a ban on Kratom in Newport Beach. (CLICK ON LINK ABOVE to go to PETITION)
