These testimonials are echoed by Roxanne Gullikson, facility director for Portland, Maine’s Greener Pastures Holisticare, a residential treatment center opening next month that will use kratom in combination with marijuana as part of a formal and comprehensive addiction treatment regimen. To her, Denver’s ban is both unjustified and potentially damaging.

And even though Day and the feds have very different views about kratom, some of the concerns voiced by the CDC echo ones she shared with us.

Grow-Off co-founder Jake Browne had kept the genetics for each contest unknown until the awards ceremony to ensure there were no advantages among the teams.

On November 20, 2017, Denver Environmental Health prohibited the sale of kratom for human consumption in the city and began raiding local shops selling the popular herbal pain reliever as part of what DEH’s own board later concluded was a flawed process.
