What’s Next for Kratom Regulation in Iowa?
Kratom’s legality in Iowa probably won’t be changing any time soon, which means that kratom users and vendors alike can continue to enjoy a variety of strains and products. However, we’re paying attention to trends in other states to know what you might expect to see in the coming years.
Stable Legal Status in Iowa
Without any current challenges to kratom’s legality, we predict that its legal status will remain stable for the foreseeable future.
Vendor Regulation
You can expect to see more advocacy for vendors to be regulated. After all, the last thing any kratom user wants is to end up buying kratom from an unethical vendor who doesn’t care about the user. Regulating vendors would also mean you get better consistency when you buy products, so you experience more predictable results. Regulation of vendors would definitely be a good thing in Iowa.
If unethical vendors could be fined for lying, making false claims, or failing to appropriately label their products, every kratom user would be safer from questionable manufacturers and marketers.
Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA)
Several states have passed their own version of the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), which puts some limits on kratom. Why would we like this kind of thing here at MIT45? Because we know that banning kratom is bad, but regulating it is good.
Regulation means more consistency, more education, better research into how and why kratom works, and chasing unscrupulous vendors out of the industry. We want kratom to be safe, predictable, and effective–regulation helps us do that.
Plus, we agree that kratom is for adults, so limiting the sale of kratom to people over 18 is a good idea. (Most KCPA legislation includes prohibiting kratom sales to minors.)
Better Labeling Rules
Speaking of regulation, Iowa should consider enforcing labeling rules related to the alkaloids in each product, recommended serving sizes, and ingredients.
Why You Should Buy Your Kratom Online
Although there are some brick-and-mortar shops where you can get kratom in Iowa, you should get your kratom online.
Here’s why:
- More selection
- Better brands
- Better deals/prices
- Access to loyalty programs
