Episode Details

Attorney General Jay Jones has unveiled a new enforcement unit targeting unregulated products like vapes and kratom, aiming to shield consumers—especially kids—from dangerous, misleading, or illegal substances. The unit responds to real-life tragedies, like Dean Francis’s son Cameron, who became addicted to kratom after mistaking it for a harmless supplement, leading to emergency room visits. While critics call sellers predatory, the American Kratom Association argues the problem lies with chemically altered versions, not natural leaf, urging regulators to distinguish between safe and dangerous products. This bold move seeks to restore safety and legality to the market, prioritizing public health over profit.
