We have two amazing guests for this week's show, Paul Kemp and Mac Haddow!


In the first half of the show I talk kratom current events with Mac Haddow, Senior Fellow on Public Policy of the AKA. He clarifies his statement aimed at Trump regarding Hydroxychloroquine and how ‘the right to try’ should apply to chronic pain. We also talk about the latest in kratom (during Covid), the new AKA National Kratom Consumer Advocacy Council (KCAC), Matt Salmon replacing Dave Herman as the AKA Chairman, and much more.


Then for our main guest we are joined by Paul Kemp, who was the first board member chosen for the American Kratom Association in 2014! We had such a great talk, discussing a range of topics from big pharma control, FDA, sugar, diabetes, exercise and natural remedies and more. Paul is 71 is in great shape, takes no medications and does not go to see doctors. He is a daily kratom consumer and advocate. He helped grow the AKA and encouraged consumers to support the organization as the most viable group to keep kratom legal.


Paul says he always had an interest in writing and health. After benefitting immensely from kratom and finding the need to build the conversation and consumer-base around kratom, and if we were going to avoid another disastrous prohibition such as we've seen with the prohibition of cannabis Paul chose to start his blog, www.diabetes-symptoms-magic.com. There he posts articles promoting natural products, herbal remedies, healthy eating, cannabis, CBD, kratom and more. It was because of his writing about kratom, is what led him to join the AKA.
