Rensselaer County just voted to ban kratom, with 15 lawmakers in favor and 2 opposed, while neighboring Menands chose not to ban it outright — instead enforcing Albany County’s existing ban. The debate revealed divided opinions: some residents pushed for targeted restrictions on synthetic extracts and age verification rather than a full ban. Cari Scribner, whose son died from kratom use, supports Menands’ decision as a strategic step toward broader state bans, noting that only 19% of Americans even know what kratom is — and she’s determined to change that, starting in New York and aiming for national action.
