Episode Details

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has issued an emergency order to temporarily ban kratom sales—powder, capsules, gummies—all across the state, citing its unregulated status and rising risks, especially among kids. The substance, with stimulant-like effects from a Southeast Asian plant, is now classified as Schedule One pending enforcement after a two-week notice period, with full effect lasting one year. Local towns can enforce the ban, and the Department of Public Health will provide guidance to help communities manage this crackdown on a product flying off shelves without oversight.
