E26 - New Kratom Wrongful Death Lawsuits Filed in Texas, Georgia and Florida The Kratom Guy Show

Welcome Back! Thank you so much for joining us! This episode we discuss the most recent slew of wrongful death lawsuits filed. The big case being out of Georgia where lawyers have filed numerous charges against over a dozen defendants, including the AKA and Mac Haddow, OPMS and their numerous companies and managers, along with distributors and two separate stores that sold the deceased, Ethan Pope, kratom. These cases are complex. Some charges seem to have merit while others simply don’t. They all share the same frightening theme of providing no scientific supporting data and for the most part seemingly excuse all personal responsibility. Rather we’re now seeing “FDA said” permeate from sloppy media reporting into court rooms. These cases have the potential to destroy untold number of lives of kratom companies, consumers, sellers and their extended families.

On Twitter, daily, I’ve been inviting any member of KDA onto the podcast to talk. I really would like to better understand their side and rational regarding their intended goal of scheduling kratom. We know prohibition has never and will never work, and only exasperates the problems they claim to be fixing. We know that drug laws are victimless “crimes” only enforceable by means of violence and deadly force against peaceful people who’ve harmed nobody. How will destroying the lives of millions of consumers and extended family members, innocent children and elderly going to help anything? If you are in KDA please get in touch. I simply want to talk and try to find middle ground to keep consumers safe. If your goal is to keep people safe then we should be working together to reach our intended goals.
