Pam Bondi Is the Most Dangerous Threat to Kratom in 2025
Published in Civic Leaf – April 2025
Most Kratom advocates are watching the DEA, the FDA, or a handful of anti-plant senators. But the real threat now holds one of the most powerful positions in the country:
Pam Bondi is the Attorney General of the United States.
And if you think she’s not coming for Kratom—you haven’t been paying attention.
Bondi’s Long Game Just Hit the Big Stage
Pam Bondi spent years building a career out of loyalty to Donald Trump, culture war crusading, and public smear campaigns. As Florida Attorney General, she attacked LGBTQ+ rights, shielded Big Pharma from accountability, and took “donations” from Trump while refusing to investigate him.
Now, as U.S. Attorney General, she has the power to:
- Push the DEA toward rescheduling Kratom
- Direct U.S. Attorneys to prosecute vendors under flimsy laws
- Influence public health policy with zero scientific backing
- Coordinate federal action with state-level bans to kill Kratom by attrition
This isn’t speculation. This is how power works—and she’s got it now.
Her History with Kratom Is Anything But Neutral
Long before she took the federal stage, Bondi was already quietly waging war on Kratom:
- Appearing alongside fringe anti-Kratom activists in Florida
- Repeating debunked claims about overdose and addiction
- Supporting emergency scheduling attempts based on fear, not fact
Now, with her hands on the Justice Department, she can make that agenda national—with the backing of federal law enforcement.
What’s Coming Next?
Don’t expect a loud, public ban attempt. Bondi’s smarter than that.
Expect instead:
- Quiet FDA/DEA pressure campaigns
- Coordinated seizures and warnings against vendors
- Federal grants to state agencies willing to push Kratom bans
- Public statements about “protecting our children” while ignoring the science
What Kratom Advocates Must Do Now
- Name her. Don’t let Pam Bondi operate in a cloud of anonymity.
- Push back publicly and strategically. Write op-eds. Call your reps. Share science.
- Support KCPA legislation in every state. Regulation beats prohibition—every time.
Bottom Line
Pam Bondi is no longer an outside agitator—she’s the top cop in the country, and her agenda is clear.
Civic Leaf is watching.
And we won’t stay silent while she tries to criminalize the very people Kratom has helped the most.
