    FHM: Narcotic plant drug

    The Public Health Authority (FHM) proposes that the government should classify the plant kratom as a narcotic.

    Kratom is a plant from Southeast Asia that contains the narcotic-classified substance mitragynine, which poses health risks when used and can cause death.

    In 2023, according to the Swedish Customs Administration, more than 40 tons of kratom were brought into Sweden. It is sold as a plant powder in some kiosks and online shops.

    Kratom produces mild stimulant and euphoric effects in low doses, while larger doses produce opiod-like effects.

    Kratom has addictive properties and can be dangerous to use. The poison information center reports that several people in Sweden have sought treatment after consuming kratom. There are also more cases, according to the Medical Examiner’s Office, where mitragynine has contributed to death or was the cause of death, FHM writes in a press release.

    Proposal: Witnesses in legal proceedings should be subject to contact bans

    The government wants to proceed with a legislative council referral to extend the contact ban.

    Among other things, the government wants anyone who monitors someone via an app to be able to be punished.

    – The aim is to strengthen the protection for children and women exposed to violence, says Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer at a press conference.

    The changes are proposed to enter into force on 1 July this year.

    The government wants the contact ban to be able to be used in more cases. They also want to see larger geographical prohibition areas for extended and particularly extended contact bans.

    In addition to this, the government also wants to see that contact bans can be issued if there is a risk that someone will be exposed to influence in a legal process. This is for the purpose of protecting plaintiffs or witnesses in the legal process.

    – It can never be accepted that crime victims, witnesses or informants are subjected to pressure and witnesses from this type of pressure, says Equality Minister Paulina Brandberg (L) and continues:

    – Here we believe that contact bans can be an effective measure to protect plaintiffs and witnesses from that type of pressure.
