šØ Texas Senate Bill 1868: A Direct Threat to Kratom Access in Texas
Posted on April 21, 2025 | El Paso Kratom Team
At El Paso Kratom, we believe in plant-based wellness and the right to natural alternatives. Thatās why weāre deeply concerned about a new bill making its way through the Texas LegislatureāSenate Bill 1868āwhich could have devastating consequences for kratom consumers and small businesses across the state.
ā ļø What Is Senate Bill 1868?
Senate Bill 1868 (SB 1868) is a proposed law that would ban or heavily restrict the sale, possession, and use of kratom in Texas. While the bill claims to protect public health, the reality is that it would criminalize responsible adult use of kratom and shut down legitimate businesses that provide lab-tested, regulated products.
š„ Who Would Be Affected?
If passed, SB 1868 would:
-
Ban kratom sales statewide, even from trusted vendors like El Paso Kratom.
-
Punish consumersāmany of whom rely on kratom for chronic pain, anxiety, and opioid withdrawal support.
-
Force the kratom market underground, increasing the risk of unregulated and unsafe products.
This bill doesn't protect Texansāit puts them at greater risk.
š§ Why This Matters
Kratom is used by millions of Americans as a natural tool for pain relief, energy, mental clarity, and overall wellness. In many cases, itās been a lifesaving alternative to addictive prescription medications or street drugs.
At El Paso Kratom, we take pride in providing high-quality, lab-tested kratom products and educating our community on responsible use. Senate Bill 1868 threatens everything weāand our customersāstand for.
ā A Better Solution: Regulation, Not Prohibition
Weāre not against smart regulationāwe support it. Thatās why we advocate for the Kratom Consumer Protection Act (KCPA), which enforces:
-
Age restrictions (18+)
-
Clear labeling
-
Product testing
-
Vendor accountability
This approach keeps Texans safe without taking away their freedom to choose natural wellness.
