An ordinance making the selling of Mitragyna Speciosa Korth (Kratom) a criminal misdemeanor within the city was introduced at the Gonzales City Council meeting on Monday. According to Captain Steven Nethken of the Gonzales Police Department, the law is similar to one that was already in effect in the city and was enacted by the Ascension Parish Council. The city legislation will make it easier for city law enforcement to enforce.
