Oklahoma Lawmakers Study Kratom and THC Drink Marketing to Minors

Lawmakers, medical experts, and families gathered in Oklahoma to discuss concerns regarding kratom products and THC-infused drinks, particularly their accessibility to minors and potential health risks. Ellen Pogemiller and Jim Grego hosted an interim study before the House Alcohol, Tobacco and Controlled Substances Committee. The study is aimed at helping lawmakers understand these products and explore potential protections for young Oklahomans.

The discussion centers on the marketing and sale of these substances, which are noted as potentially dangerous and addictive. The study suggests that lawmakers are examining ways to keep these products out of the hands of minors and educate the public about the associated risks.
