Petition richtet sich an: Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM)

We are at a crucial juncture regarding the future of kratom in Germany. The German Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) is currently considering a ban on this natural substance, following Belgium's recent prohibition. This potential decision could have far-reaching consequences, and we need your support to ensure a thoughtful, informed approach to kratom regulation.
Why This Issue Is Important:

1. Public Health: An estimated 1.5 million people in Germany use kratom as an alternative to conventional medications. A ban could lead some to seek less safe alternatives.
2. Scientific Research: Prohibiting kratom could hinder ongoing research into its potential as a safer alternative to opioids.
3. Personal Freedom: This decision touches on our right to make informed choices about our health and well-being.
4. European Precedent: Germany's decision could influence policy across the European Union.

What You Can Do:

1. Sign the Petition: Add your name to show support for maintaining access to kratom.
2. Share Your Experience: If you use kratom, consider writing to BfArM and your local representatives about your personal experiences.
3. Spread Awareness: Inform others about this issue and the potential impacts of a kratom ban.
4. Stay Informed: Follow updates on this issue and be prepared to take further action if needed.
