Partner With the Only Real-Time Kratom Dataset in Existence
If plain leaf kratom gets banned, your business disappears overnight. Not next quarter. Overnight.
That's not a hypothetical. The DEA filed emergency Schedule I paperwork in 2016 with 30 days notice — the same classification as heroin — and it nearly went through. Over 19,000 public comments and direct intervention from members of Congress convinced the DEA to withdraw the notice in one of the only reversals of its kind in the agency's history. Kratom stayed legal federally, but only because the community showed up in an unprecedented way.
That pressure has never fully gone away. Nine states have already banned plain leaf kratom outright regardless of any distinction between it and concentrated extracts. And this month the DEA issued an emergency 30-day scheduling action specifically targeting 7-hydroxymitragynine — the concentrated 7-OH products that have driven the recent spike in adverse event reports. On the surface that looks like good news for plain leaf. The government is finally drawing the distinction that the community has been asking for.
But don't mistake a targeted 7-OH action for safety. A 30-day emergency scheduling is a regulatory foot in the door, not a resolution. The same administrative machinery that moved on 7-OH can move on mitragynine. The same legislators who voted to ban everything in nine states didn't change their minds because of this ruling — they just haven't gotten to plain leaf yet in their state. And the federal regulatory appetite for kratom in any form has never been smaller than it is right now. The vendors who are documented, whose products have COA-verified batch data tied to real user outcomes, are the ones who can make the argument that plain leaf is categorically different and has the evidence to prove it. The vendors who aren't in the data have nothing to point to when that conversation happens in their state.
Log & Taper It is building it. And vendors who participate early will be the ones represented in that dataset when decisions get made.
What Lawmakers See When They Look at Kratom Vendors Right Now
No quality standards. No accountability. No documentation of outcomes. An unregulated gray market where gas station 7-OH gummies and traditional plain leaf powder are treated as the same thing.
That's the image driving bans.
Vendors who partner with Log & Taper It present something completely different. Their products are documented. Their batches are verified with COAs. Their customers' outcomes are recorded in real time. They aren't just "a kratom company" — they are a responsible actor in a self-regulated, data-backed industry. That's exactly the distinction that matters in a legislative hearing.
When a bill gets introduced in your state, the vendors in the dataset have evidence. The vendors who aren't have nothing.
What the Vendor Program Includes
✅ Your Verified Vendor Profile
Your brand gets a dedicated profile in the app's vendor database. Your strains are listed, verified, and searchable by users when they log doses. Instead of users typing your name freehand and creating messy unlinked data, every log gets tied directly to your brand and your specific products.
This is the foundation everything else builds on.
🔬 Batch-Level COA Integration
Submit certificates of analysis for your batches and they get attached directly to your product listings in the app. When a user logs a dose from that batch, your COA is right there — visible, documented, permanent.
This does two things. It shows your customers you stand behind your product at the batch level. And it creates a documented chain from lab results to real-world user outcomes that has never existed in this industry before.
A legislator looking at your products doesn't see a faceless kratom vendor. They see batch numbers, third-party lab results, and documented user experiences tied to those specific batches.
🎟️ Sponsor Codes for Your Customers
This is where the program becomes active rather than passive.
As a vendor partner, you receive sponsor codes to distribute to your customers. When a customer redeems your code, they get free access to the app's full data contribution features. They start logging — doses, effects, strains — and that data gets tied to your products from day one.
This matters because the dataset is only as powerful as its size. A vendor with 200 customers logging their products has 200 documented voices. That's 200 people whose outcomes are on record, tied to your specific batches and COAs, available when policy decisions are being made.
Your sponsor codes are your direct contribution to that number. The more customers you bring in, the stronger your product's representation in the dataset becomes.
👤 What Your Customers Get
Users who redeem your sponsor code get free access to the app's full research participation features — dose logging, effect tracking, strain documentation, and contribution to the dataset. They don't need a paid subscription as long as they remain active.
The only requirement is that they log consistently. Users who go seven days without logging lose their sponsored access automatically, the slots are returned to your pool and can be claimed again by a new user. This keeps the data active and meaningful — your sponsor slots stay with people who are actually contributing, not sitting dormant.
📊 What You Get as a Vendor
This is where the program becomes genuinely useful as a business tool, not just a policy play.
Vendor partners get access to a private dashboard showing aggregate anonymized data from every user logging your products. No individual user data — just the patterns that emerge when real customers document their real experiences with your specific strains and batches.
Per strain, you can see:
- Most commonly reported effects, ranked by frequency
- Percentage of logs reporting positive vs. negative experiences
- Average dose being logged
- What users are primarily taking your product for — pain, focus, anxiety, energy, opioid withdrawal, sleep
- How all of the above shifts over time as more customers log
Per batch, you can see: When COAs are attached, your dashboard lets you compare outcomes batch to batch. If batch 2024-09 shows meaningfully different effect reports than batch 2024-07, you'll know — and you'll have lab data sitting alongside user data to start understanding why. This kind of product feedback loop doesn't exist anywhere in this industry right now.
What this means in practice: No kratom vendor currently has visibility into what their products are actually doing for customers after the sale. You get reviews, occasionally. You get customer service contacts when something goes wrong. You don't get systematic, documented, categorized outcome data across hundreds of users tied to specific products.
That's what this dashboard provides — product intelligence that makes you a better vendor, and evidence that makes you a more defensible one.
Why Getting In Early Matters
The dataset grows over time. Vendors who join now accumulate months of historical data before anyone who joins later. If a scheduling hearing happens in 18 months, a vendor with 18 months of documented user outcomes has a fundamentally different evidentiary position than one who joined last week.
You cannot go back and fill in historical data. The only way to have it is to start now.
The Vendor Program Tiers
Standard Partner
A monthly subscription that provides a pool of sponsor codes to distribute to your customers. Your brand and strains get a verified profile in the app. COA submissions are accepted and attached to your batch listings. You receive aggregate anonymized outcome data from users logging your products as your dataset grows.
This tier is designed for vendors who want consistent customer engagement and a growing body of product-specific data over time.
Supporting Partner
A higher monthly subscription with a larger sponsor code allocation and priority support for COA integration and batch setup. Designed for vendors with larger customer bases who want to move significant volume into the dataset quickly.
Bulk Slot Purchase
Don't want a monthly commitment? Purchase sponsor slots directly to distribute at your own pace. Slots don't expire until redeemed by a customer. Once redeemed, the standard 7-day activity rule applies — inactive users return their slot to your pool automatically so it can be redistributed.
This option works well for vendors who want to include codes in packaging, run a one-time email campaign, or distribute at events without ongoing commitment.
Pricing
Vendor program pricing is available on request. Reach out directly to discuss which tier fits your customer base and how many sponsor codes make sense for your distribution approach.
The right number depends on your customer volume and how aggressively you want to build product-specific data. A vendor with 500 active customers and 200 sponsor codes is going to have a meaningfully different dataset position than one with 20 codes — and that difference compounds over time.
What This Is Not
This program does not sell kratom. It does not make health claims about any product. It does not guarantee any regulatory outcome.
What it does is give your products documented representation in the only real-time kratom usage dataset being collected anywhere. What policymakers and researchers do with that data is up to them. What it cannot do is help vendors who aren't in it.
