What happened
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is calling on state lawmakers to pass an enforceable ban on kratom during next year's legislative session. This push follows previous warnings from the FDA about kratom risks, including a November 2025 alert regarding products containing dangerous opioid-like substances.

Why it matters
Carr stated that current state laws are insufficient for effective enforcement, noting the difficulty in identifying and seizing products. The push for a ban could change the market structure for kratom products and increase enforcement costs within Georgia.
