Ray County urges State of Missouri to regulate kratom and 7‑OH products in public health resolution
Summary
The Commission approved a resolution urging the State of Missouri to ban or restrict kratom and 7‑OH products and pledged support for state attorney general and law enforcement investigations into the products' safety.
Ray County commissioners approved a resolution addressing public health and safety concerns about kratom and certain synthetic 7‑OH products.
At the March 11 meeting, Presiding Commissioner Sheila Tracy read the resolution, which the Commission approved after review by legal counsel. The resolution states: "The Commission supports and urges the State of Missouri to adopt regulations to ban or restrict these products for manufacturers and retailers who sell them." The Commission also recorded support for ongoing investigations by the Missouri Attorney General’s office and law enforcement.
Commissioners characterized the products as a serious public health and public safety concern for the county and the state. The transcript does not specify regulatory language, statutory citations, or a local enforcement plan; the action is a formal request to state authorities rather than a county-level ban.
