Idaho Kratom Users:
Take Action NOW — 11 Days Left

Dear Chairman VanderWoude and members of the House Health & Welfare Committee, My name is [YOUR NAME], and I'm a resident of [YOUR CITY], Idaho. I'm writing to ask you to vote NO on House Bill 864. I've used kratom for [pain management / energy / focus / quitting opioids — pick what's true for you] for [X years]. It's helped me live a more functional, productive life. I am not a drug user — I'm a [teacher / parent / veteran / nurse / etc.] who found something that works. Classifying kratom alongside heroin and fentanyl is not supported by science, and it would criminalize hundreds of thousands of responsible adults across Idaho. It would destroy small businesses, push users toward truly dangerous substances, and do nothing to address the underlying issues lawmakers say they're concerned about. I also want to point to what just happened next door. Utah — one of the most conservative states in the nation — faced this same debate and rejected a full ban. Their legislature passed SB45, a regulatory framework that limits kratom sales to licensed smoke shops and requires pure leaf products only. Even Utah didn't go as far as HB 864 proposes. Regulation — not a blanket ban — is the right approach. Please table HB 864 or vote it down. Thank you for your time and service to Idaho. [YOUR NAME] [YOUR CITY, ZIP] [YOUR PHONE — optional]

Governor Little, I'm [YOUR NAME] from [YOUR CITY], Idaho, and I'm asking you to veto House Bill 864 if it passes the legislature. This bill would classify kratom — a plant-based supplement used by many Idahoans for pain relief, energy, and as an alternative to prescription opioids — as a Schedule I controlled substance. That's the same category as heroin. This is extreme, unsupported by federal health agencies, and would turn responsible adults into criminals overnight. Idaho values personal freedom and limited government. This bill is the opposite of that. Thousands of your constituents depend on this plant for their quality of life. A ban won't help them — it will harm them. For context: Utah, our conservative neighbor, just passed SB45 — a regulatory approach that stops well short of a full ban. Idaho can and should follow that lead. Please stand with Idaho families and veto HB 864. Respectfully, [YOUR NAME] [YOUR CITY, ZIP]

🚨 Idaho is trying to BAN kratom. HB 864 would classify it as Schedule I — same as heroin — making possession a CRIME. Thousands of Idahoans use kratom for pain, energy, and to get off opioids. This bill would take that away with zero alternatives offered. Even Utah — our conservative neighbor — just rejected a full ban and chose regulation instead. Idaho should do the same. Session ends March 27. We have 11 days.
