This is because small legal jurisdictions that fall within a greater geo locale can have local bylaws, or local ordinances that affect people. In the case of Denton, Texas – no law, legislation, ordinance, or city bylaw have been proposed, or passed that would ban, criminalize, regulate, or in any way decrease the accessibility to the kratom plant.

This kind of employment permits an employer to fire an employee with no reason specified for why they fired that person. The importance of this with regard to kratom is that while it is legal, people around you may not be familiar with it, and may stigmatize the kratom plant, as well as it’s use and enjoyment.
