OBSTACLES:
Vision
European Kratom Alliance strongly believes in harm reduction, human rights, and social justice principles. Our goal is the complete legalization of Kratom in the EEA and the entire continental Europe. We aim to do so by creating a functional market where Kratom can be legally purchased and consumed responsibly by any adult person on the European continent.
- Complete legalization of Kratom in Europe
- Creation of a legal and controlled market for Kratom
- GMP for Kratom
- Legalization of Kratom in at least two countries by the end of 2025
- Consolidation of the European Kratom Market
- Establishing testing standards and laboratories in Europe
STRATEGY
We will focus on organized advocacy and lobbying efforts of the European and national regulatory bodies. We will highlight the benefits of the use of kratom and its history. At the same time, we will aim to build a coalition of like-minded organizations that can collaborate. We will try to create a loose network of self-sustaining kratom advocates. (Starting with Germany, Czech Republic, and the Netherlands). Establishing the scientific advisory council will aid our advocacy efforts by basing them more on fact-based and science-based.
NEEDS
- Too small budget
There is not enough staff, and we can’t rely on volunteers for everything.
Lack of collaboration from the vendors.
Potential resistance from the regulatory agencies
Very niche subject/lack of public awareness
Potentially negative attitude of media
Potential delays in regulation of the market, due to slow moving legislative and political processes.
Inconstancies between results provided by different labs of Kratom samples.
