Legislation aimed at regulating kratom use in New York has passed both the state Senate and Assembly and is now awaiting the governor’s signature. The bills, co-sponsored by Assembly members Mary Beth Walsh and Phil Steck, were introduced following the death of Nick Scribner from kratom use.
Steck, a Democrat from Schenectady, emphasized the importance of labeling kratom as dangerous, citing the Food and Drug Administration’s determination. “The Food and Drug Administration has determined that it is dangerous, and so we want it to be labeled as such,” said Steck.
