Kratom’s Wild Rise and Regulatory Crossroads | Minneapolis News
Description
Kratom’s exploding popularity is sparking a national crisis—exposures jumped 1,200% in a decade, fueling fears of addiction and withdrawal. The DEA eyes it for Schedule One status, while states like Wisconsin and North Dakota ban it outright. Though still legal in places like Minnesota, its opioid-like effects mean dependence is real—and crackdowns could push users toward even riskier underground sources. Balancing public safety with harm reduction? That’s the tough call ahead.
