Kats Digest – The Advocacy Issue

FROM THE LEAF

What Happens Next Depends On What Happens Now.

April carries a bit more weight this year. Not just because of what’s happening across the country, but because of what it signals about where things are heading. Kats is now in its 10th year. In an industry filled with new brands and short-lived players, we’ve stayed consistent. Same standards, same transparency, same focus on doing things the right way. In this issue, we’ll share what’s new, what’s coming, and what’s moving behind the scenes.

BOTANICAL SMARTS 

Small Shifts That Change Your Routine

  • Rotate with Intention: Staying on one strain too long can flatten your experience. Rotation keeps things responsive.
  • Protect Freshness: Heat, light, and air quietly degrade quality. Keep it sealed, cool, and consistent.
  • Adjust Before You Increase: More isn’t always better. Small, controlled changes tend to deliver better balance.

Pro Tip: Want more control over how your routine feels day to day? Build it yourself with My Blend and dial things in exactly where you want them.

INDUSTRY INSIGHTS: Momentum & Pressure are Building

Right now, Kratom regulation isn’t sitting still. In Tennessee, lawmakers are advancing House Bill 1649, a proposal that would impose a statewide ban. Much of the debate centers on highly concentrated compounds like 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), raising questions about potency and safety. At the same time, others are pushing for regulation rather than prohibition, warning that bans could drive the market underground. Vote now! Elsewhere, the picture is mixed. In states like Ohio and Arizona, regulation is moving forward. In others, like Idaho, there’s continued pressure toward restrictions. And then you have places like Iowa, where votes are coming down to razor-thin margins, showing just how much influence public voices are having. Even more interesting: Illinois may finally have a path forward after years of friction. What this tells us is simple: This is no longer one-sided. It’s active, it’s shifting, and outcomes are being decided in real time. Make your voice heard today – visit ProtectKratom.org.  

AKA ADVOCACY CORNER

The Difference Is Participation

What we’re seeing across the board is clear: When people step in, things change. Closer votes. More discussion. More openness to regulation instead of restriction. But none of that holds without continued pressure. Efforts like the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA) exist to protect access while setting standards that make sense. And right now, those efforts need support. Support the KCPA

Testimonial of the Month
 “Kats has been my go-to for a few years now. You can’t go wrong with either green, white, or red. I really like having the choice of the different strengths of MIT. The transparency that Kats offers is something I haven’t seen many other companies provide. Keep up the awesome work.”
– John H.
