San Diego Targets Kratom Seller | San Diego News

San Diego’s City Attorney is suing a local businessman who owns eleven smoke shops, accusing him of illegally selling kratom—a substance linked to over 230 deaths nationwide, including many in San Diego. Health officials warn kratom can have opioid-like effects, causing deadly overdoses. This isn’t the first time the owner has faced legal trouble; he was previously charged for selling unpermitted cannabis from hidden back rooms. The city seeks an injunction to shut down all his stores’ kratom sales and impose hefty fines, reflecting a broader California trend targeting kratom due to public health risks. Watch this case unfold as the owner’s legal team prepares their response. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
