Josh Wostal calls for 7-OH ban in Hillsborough as state kratom rule nears expiration

Josh Wostal is urging Hillsborough to ban a specific synthetic form of kratom, known as 7-OH, as Florida's existing state regulation on kratom is set to expire. This synthetic variant, distinct from traditional natural kratom products, has raised concerns due to its potential health risks. The push for this ban highlights the ongoing debate about kratom's safety and regulation, reflecting broader concerns about public health and substance control in the state. This move could set a precedent for other areas as they navigate the complexities of kratom regulation.
