Welcome to Operation Kratom: a grassroots coalition formed by Adobe Kava and Kava Social Club to protect responsible kratom access in Manatee County and beyond.

Our mission is simple:
✅ Defend safe, regulated botanical tea service
✅ Support small businesses and local jobs
✅ Educate the public and our elected officials
✅ Push back against unfair or uninformed bans

Kratom has already been regulated at the state level, and high-potency concentrates like 7-OH are now prohibited by the State. There is no need for Manatee County to create overlapping or excessive restrictions, especially ones that could force local businesses to close and eliminate up to 100 jobs.

Together, Adobe Kava and Kava Social Club serve thousands of people, many of whom have chosen kratom and kava as safe, natural alternatives to alcohol. Our venues are proudly Florida-sober, community-focused, and fully compliant with state law.

📢 We’re not the problem. We’re part of the solution.
