If enacted, this policy would ban kratom exports to the United States, essentially cutting off an important supply chain for American kratom companies and consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AKA, along with the Botanical Education Alliance and support from vendors like us, has assembled a delegation of lawmakers, policy experts, and scientists to go to Indonesia and meet with high-ranking government officials there. They will make the case, from a policy, science, and economic perspective, that Indonesia should not embark upon this course of action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/americankratom.salsalabs.org\/helptheakacontinuethefighttoprotectkratomcopy3\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"712\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/krakenkratom.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Legal-in-Indo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/krakenkratom.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Legal-in-Indo.jpg 712w, https:\/\/krakenkratom.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Legal-in-Indo-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter is-style-squared\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-very-light-gray-color has-background has-vivid-red-background-color\" href=\"https:\/\/americankratom.salsalabs.org\/helptheakacontinuethefighttoprotectkratomcopy3\/index.html\">Make a donation today!<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Members of the delegation include former Congressman Matt Salmon (a key supporter in 2016 with extensive foreign relations experience in Southeast Asia), Utah State Senator Bramble (sponsor of Utah&#8217;s Kratom Consumer Protection Act and chair of the National Conference of State Legislators Foundation International Committee), and kratom researcher Dr. Jack Henningfield.
