Armstrong calls special session on kratom ban, military museum funding
The Plain Talk interview with North Dakota Gov. Kelly Armstrong focused on his recent declaration of a public health emergency banning all kratom products, an emergency Board of Pharmacy rule mirroring DEA action on synthetic 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), and the call for a September special legislative session to enact penalties and enforcement. Armstrong discussed the unregulated nature of products sold in convenience stores, potential for age restrictions and labeling if a full ban fails, rising poison control calls, and existing addiction services. The conversation also covered the stalled Military Gallery/museum project at the Heritage Center, its shift from a smaller National Guard expansion to a larger facility dependent on private fundraising that has fallen short, and openness to data center legislation or other bills in the special session.
