The American Kratom Association (AKA) is a national advocacy organization dedicated to protecting consumer access to kratom, a botanical substance derived from the Mitragyna speciosa plant. The organization promotes responsible regulation, consumer education, and product safety standards while opposing federal and state efforts to ban kratom. ProtectKratom.org serves as its public advocacy and grassroots mobilization platform.
The organization primarily advocates for consumer protection laws specific to kratom, including the adoption of Kratom Consumer Protection Acts at the state and federal levels. It opposes scheduling kratom as a controlled substance and supports regulatory frameworks focused on product safety, labeling requirements, age restrictions, and quality control standards.
Primarily funded through individual donations, industry contributions from kratom vendors, and membership support.
Works closely with kratom industry stakeholders, state-level kratom advocacy groups, and consumer protection coalitions supporting the Kratom Consumer Protection Act.
