TUSTIN CITY CODE PROHIBITING THE SALE OF KRATOM PRODUCTS The City Attorney's
office has prepared proposed amendments to Article 6 of the Tustin City Code to add a ban on
the sale, distribution, and advertisement for sale of kratom products within the City. The
proposed ordinance would ban the sale, distribution, and advertisement for sale of any product
containing any part of the leaf of the plant Mitragyna speciosa (more commonly known as the
kratom plant). The purpose of the ordinance is to protect the public health and welfare against
the sale and distribution of products which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has identified
as having opioid-like characteristics, and which pose a threat to the health and safety of the
American Public.
eComment: Hello, I strongly oppose the proposed ordinance to ban Kratom. For me, this isn't
just a policy issue —it's deeply personal. Kratom has been a lifesaver. After years of struggling
with opioid addiction, I was able to regain control of my life thanks to Kratom. It helped me
manage withdrawal symptoms and pain in a natural, manageable way without turning back to
harmful substances. Banning Kratom would take away a tool that many responsible adults like
myself depend on to stay healthy and productive. Instead of criminalizing something that has
helped countless people overcome addiction and improve their quality of life, the city should
focus on education, responsible use, and ensuring product safety through regulation —not
prohibition. Please don't punish those of us who have found real hope and stability through
Kratom. -JDH
