## Resource

North Dakota lawmakers are preparing for a special session to tackle two urgent issues: a potential kratom ban pushed by Governor Kelly Armstrong, and a stalled Military Gallery project due to a critical funding shortfall. After last year’s stalled regulatory efforts, the governor now seeks a full ban on kratom’s sale, possession, and distribution. Meanwhile, the Military Gallery can’t access state funds until private donors meet a major fundraising target, halting construction indefinitely. With the governor and legislators aligning for a Sunday planning meeting, the session aims to swiftly resolve both crises — as the DEA also weighs classifying kratom’s key compound as a Schedule One drug, intensifying the national debate.
