On this edition of Century: Stimulant Treatment and Kratom. There are efforts underway in various states to regulate kratom. On this week’s show we take a look at efforts in Washington state and Missouri, specifically the Washington bill HB2291, Establishing the kratom consumer protection act, lead sponsor Representative Kristine Reeves; and Missouri bill SB 927, Regulates the sale of kratom in the state, lead sponsor Senator Maggie Nurrenbern. Plus, the #ScaleUp initiative, scalable interventions for the treatment and care of stimulant use disorders, a joint initiative by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the World Health Organization, and the European Union Drugs Agency, was launched on January 28. We hear a presentation from that launch by Thiago Fidalgo, MD, PhD, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil.
