Spokane提议首先禁止Kratom及其关键化合物, Spokane proposes first-in-WA ban on kratom and its key compound over safety and addiction concerns.

Spokane市长Lisa Brown提议在城市界限内禁止Kratom和7-Hydroxymitragyine,使其成为华盛顿第一个考虑这一措施的城市。 Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown has introduced a proposed ban on kratom and 7-hydroxymitragynine within city limits, making it the first city in Washington to consider such a measure. 这项法令定于12月1日由委员会审查,旨在解决与Kratom不受管制的销售、类阿片类效应以及残疾司机和青年使用率上升有关的公共安全问题。 The ordinance, set for committee review on December 1, aims to address public safety concerns linked to kratom’s unregulated sale, opioid-like effects, and rising use among impaired drivers and youth. 虽然支持者列举健康风险和吸毒成瘾,包括严重戒毒,但一些官员担心禁令会限制减少伤害的努力,如果人们求助于外部来源,就可能无法停止接触。 While supporters cite health risks and addiction, including severe withdrawal, some officials worry the ban could limit harm reduction efforts and may not stop access if people turn to outside sources. 一旦州或联邦法规出台,该市计划重新评估。 The city plans to reassess once state or federal regulations emerge.
