E21 Ascension Parish, Louisiana Intent to Criminalize Kratom Consumers - Kratom Ban Announced!

The Kratom Guy Show

This week we’re covering the Ascension Parish abhorrent intent to criminalize kratom consumers by criminalizing not just the sale but possession of kratom in Ascension Parish! The topic of this kratom ban ordinance was introduced at their July 12 Strategic Planning Committee Meeting which we'll be unwrapping in detail.

For this episode I focus on breaking down Detective Todd Tullier’s testimony. Todd, who said he’s been an employee at the Ascension Sheriff Department for the past 27 years, 14 years of which in narcotics investigations. Todd, as well as his Daughter, Landry Tullier both testified at a meeting, which many kratom advocates say was riddled with misinformation, disinformation and flat out lies! Many of the talking points come directly from the FDA and have been completely proven false!

Detective Todd Tullier when talking about kratom said, “It’s synthetic, it’s basically a synthetic heroin.”

His daughter Landry Tullier, said that she went to detox for her kratom habit that had her spending $400 per day on kratom. Yet, she testified that on her initial intake drug test she tested positive for fentanyl!

Councilwoman Terry Casso, who at the end of the meeting proposed the kratom ordinance criminalizing both the sale and use said, “I hate to criminalize the usage. I really do but it's in order to save these folks from themselves we’re going to have to.”
