In this powerful episode, Madalyn Sklar sits down with Abram Jacobson, a longtime Kratom consumer and passionate advocate who shares his journey from recreational use to leadership in the Kratom industry. Abram opens up about discovering Kratom and Kava a decade ago in St. Petersburg, Florida, and how the sense of community at his local Kava bar helped him connect with others from all walks of life. He explains how Kratom helped him decompress and stay focused during high-stress periods in his life, and how responsible use has been a game changer—not just for him, but for countless others he's met along the way.

As the conversation unfolds, Abram discusses his transition into the Kratom business, the importance of ethical practices, and why he uses his voice and platform to educate consumers. He also tackles common misconceptions, the impact of media bias, and offers guidance for new users and those interested in getting involved in advocacy. Whether you're new to Kratom or have been using it for years, this episode offers honest insight, practical advice, and a reminder of the growing movement to protect access to this plant.
