By Brandon Turbeville (http://www.naturalblaze.com/product/1518635962/US/natblaze-20/?cart=y)

On September 12, the Center for Regulatory E漀椀ectiveness (http://www.thecre.com/about.html), an independent think tank and regulatorywatchdog organization, wrote an open letter to the DEA (http://www.thecre.com/forum11/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/CRE-DEA-Kratom-1.pdf)regarding the notoriously corrupt and rights-crushing agency’s recent ban on kratom (http://www.naturalblaze.com/tag/kratom). In thisletter, the CRE has made a number of recommendations to the DEA that would at least put an element of logic to the agency’s actions.

The CRE points out that the DEA’s policy on kratom is in con㘀ict with the policy of a number of other federal agencies and, thus, the legality ofkratom falls under the jurisdiction of the O瀀攀ce of Management and Budget whose job it is to settle inter-agency con㘀icts of policy.

The letter reads:

The O瀀攀ce of Information and Regulatory A漀椀airs (OIRA) has been described as the cockpit of the regulatory state. It is anorganization that has a statutory mandate to manage and oversee the 㘀ow of regulatory actions taken by federal agencies. Inthe discharge of these duties OIRA is often involved in one-on-one discussions with agency personnel to resolve potentialcon㘀icts with OMB personnel.

However, in this instance, the DEA action to ban kratom, the con㘀ict is considerably wider in scope. In this instance there is a sharpdisagreement among a number of federal agencies. Consequently if there were ever a time for an OMB intervention this is it.

The CRE’s letter also calls into question the shaky “science” used by the DEA in order to push its ban when it states:

‘The DEA’s August 31, 2016 Federal Register notice placing Mitragynine and 7-Hydroxymitragynine into Schedule I5 highlightsthe out of context observation that the “consumption of kratom individually,or in conjunction with alcohol or other drugs, is ofserious concern as it can lead to severe adverse e漀椀ects and death.’ The FR notice, however, left out the crucial supporting datathat is necessary to understand the information provided by DEA and to it place in a policy context. Earlier this year, the peer-reviewed neuroscience journal Brain Research Bulletin published a survey of the literature on traditional and non-traditionaluses of Mitragynin which found that,

‘While several cases of toxicity and death have emerged in the West, such reports have been non-existent in South East Asiawhere kratom has had a longer history of use. We highlight the possible reasons for this as discussed in the literature. Moreimportantly, it should be borne in mind that the individual clinical casereports emerging from the West that link kratom use toadverse reactions or fatalities frequently pertained to kratom used together with other substances. Therefore, there is a dangerof these reports being used to strengthen the case for legal sanction against kratom. This would be unfortunate since theexperiences from South East Asia suggest considerable potential for therapeutic use among people who use drugs.’

Thus, one federal agency–law enforcement agency–DEA, is in the process of making the possession of kratom a felony at the same time that ajournal edited by the Principal Investigator of another federal agency, the National Institute of Child Health & Human Development, published anarticle which concluded that “more scienti　㈀c clinical human studies are necessary to determine [kratom’s] potential therapeutic value.”

Citing research conducted by the USDA, NIH, University of Massachusetts Medical School, and the University of Mississippi, the CRE shows thatthe DEA has “arbitrarily” banned kratom and that the DEA’s own claims are either disproven or contradicted by the 　㈀ndings of organizations whohave actually conducted research on the substance.

The CRE writes,

The kratom footprint grows even further. The research was so well conducted and received by the scienti　㈀c community that theaforementioned institutions applied for a patent. How much more additional evidence is needed to demonstrate that the DEAhas acted arbitrarily in issuing a ban on kratom?

In short, without going through a notice-and-comment process, DEA is obviating another agency’s research that was conducted withappropriated funds. With its action, DEA is also obviating the progress and promise of kratom research to boosting the American bio-sciencesindustry.

In short the arbitrary cancellation of kratom by DEA without any public input suggests that OMB must reassert itself with respect to theregulatory actions of the agency. In addition where have been the o瀀攀cials the O瀀攀ce of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice whose job isto review regulatory actions taken by the components of the agency before they are submitted to OMB?

CRE also states that the DEA’s actions violate the US-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) Agreement since the U.S. regulatory systemcoordinates closely with that of Canada. As the FDA recently stated that the Canadian food safety system is comparable to that of the U.S. andsince Canada lists kratom as a Natural Health Product, the DEA’s actions not only put it in con㘀ict with the RCC but also with the FDA.

The CRE also states that the DEA’s decision violates the Information Quality Act since it did not designate the Schedule 1 classi　㈀cation of kratomas a HISA (Highly In㘀uential Scienti　㈀c Assessment). CRE states,

The OMB Peer Review Guidelines, which govern the Information Quality responsibility of all federal agencies, de　㈀ne a HighlyIn㘀uential Scienti　㈀c Assessment ( HISA) as follows:

“A scienti　㈀c assessment is considered ‘‘highly in㘀uential’’ if the agency or the OIRA Administrator determines that thedissemination could have a potential impact of more than $500 million in any one year on either the public or private sector orthat the dissemination is novel, controversial, or precedent-setting, or has signi　㈀cant interagency interest.”

The aforementioned information most certainly demonstrates that the Schedule I listing is controversial and has signi　㈀cant interagency interest.Consequently DEA is required by law to conduct a HISA. Either DEA or OMB can designate a scienti　㈀c study as a HISA.

CRE also points out that the alleged hazards of kratom are not imminent according to the standards set by the Controlled Substances Act. CREwrites,

The Controlled Substances Act states ( 21 U.S.C. 811(h)(1) that the Attorney General may act without adherence to establishedadministrative processes “If the Attorney General 　㈀nds that the scheduling of a substance in Schedule I on a temporary basis isnecessary to avoid an imminent hazard to the public safety.” With respect to established administrative processes the statutestates: “Rules of the Attorney General under this subsection shall be made on the record after opportunity for a hearing..”

Kratom has been in use for decades, if not centuries. What compelling documentation does the DEA, a law enforcement agency, have in itspossession that would support a 　㈀nding of an imminent hazard? DEA did present arguments in the Federal Register in which they claim kratomposes a threat to public health, but none so convincing that it is an imminent threat to public health. The public, including a wide range ofexperts, should have been given the opportunity to comment on DEA’s 　㈀ndings. The DEA chose to bypass the preferred listing process in theControlled Substances Act, which allows for public comment, by claiming that kratom is an “imminent hazard.” By taking this action withoutproviding su瀀攀cient detail of the factual predicate justifying its determination that kratom is somehow an imminent hazard, the DEAinappropriately revoked any rights of the public to comment on the agency’s 　㈀ndings.

With all of this in mind, the CRE has issued its recommendations for the DEA, none of which would actually prevent the DEA from movingforward on its plans but which would at least give the American people some breathing room in terms of how long they have to address, 　㈀ght,and resist the primitive agency’s tactics. The CRE recommends the following:

1. Extend the e漀椀ective date for placing kratom into schedule I until July, 1, 2017.2. Open a Federal Register notice-and-comment proceeding on placing kratom into Schedule I and inform the public that theDEA’s proposal is a “signi　㈀cant regulatory action” under Executive Order 12866 because it,a) Has an annual e漀椀ect on the economy of $100 million or more orb) Creates a serious inconsistency with an action taken by another agency, FDA, orc) Raises novel legal and policy issues arising out of legal mandates.3. Submit the proposed listing to OMB for review pursuant to Executive Order 12866.4. Inform the US-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC) via OMB of DEA’s intent to place kratom on schedule I and seekits comments.5. Conduct an interagency peer review of DEA’s science which lead to a Schedule I listing of kratom as required by the HISArequirements of the Data (Information) Quality Act.We support the calls of the CRE, although we must readily point out that we are demanding that the DEA back o漀椀 of Kratomcompletely and allow the substance to be bought, sold, possessed, consumed, and transported freely. The DEA has alreadypushed far enough with its ridiculous and totalitarian drug war. It is time that the agency realizes that the mindset ofprohibition is coming to an end.

This ban is so obviously a move to put more money into the pockets of big pharma and exert more control over the already heavily manipulated & regulatedAmerican people. It is unconscionable and needs to stop. I have called and emailed my congresspeople and donated to the American Kratom Association.Whether you use Kratom or not, this is another step towards tyranny, if they get away with this. the ban has absolutely NOTHING to do with public safety ­ ifthey were so concerned about that, they would investigate the millions of deaths and hundreds of millions of lives ruined from pharmaceuticals. The bottomline is we are being pushed around and lied to on a regular basis, and the penalty for thinking for yourself is too often JAIL. Fortunately for some, the PrisonIndustrial Complex makes plenty of your tax money on each and every prisoner behind bars! It's perfect for the tyrants, so why not ban anything else thatcould possibly wean people off of prescription drugs ­ and then patent it and re­sell it for obscene profits? The Big Pharma Cartel does NOT like competitionand their henchmen are the DEA.△ ▽

Thanks for writing this. The CRE, very effectively, "de­pantsed" the DEA with this critique. I am surprised that this story is not more widely reported on.Whether or not people care about kratom, the DEA's actions in this event and in others are detrimental to all Americans and need to be exposed.△ ▽

Jay S. • 4 days ago

the DEA is overlooking the fact that every time they make a plant like this illegal the national illicit drug trade gets a huge boost. they are a self fulfilling profacybecause the every time they schedule somthing that helps people with there other addictions based on the idea that it "might" be addictive, then they are onlygoing to force people back to the drugs they were taking. personally i think we should stop wasting our tax dollars on their schemes to increase their budgetby creating a statistic that drug use has increased because they make illicit a medication that a lot of people use. only drugs that have a high mortality rateassociated with them should be banned. if they are only doing it based on addiction then tobacco and alcohol would certainly be on that list. its just anotherway to get us to pay out.△ ▽
