Background The World Health Organization (WHO) has requested information from the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regarding 7 substances, including kratom. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), a subsidiary of HHS, is required to request comments. These comments are not received or controlled by FDA or HHS, but go directly into the Federal Register, which is a subsidiary of the independent National Archives and Records Administration, and is not controlled by FDA or HHS. These comments may or may not be considered by the HHS in its response to the WHO about kratom and these other substances. However, since these comments will be a matter of public record in the United States, the WHO will have access to them. After the comment period is over and all the comments are public, we can all email the WHO to make sure they see every public comment.
