Mike Overstreet

Host & Producer / BAN Co-Founder

Mike Overstreet is the host and producer of the Kratom Guy Show, a podcast focusing on the latest in kratom news, science and current events, as well as other natural alternatives to prescription pharmaceuticals. He is also co-founder of the newly formed Botanical Action Network (BAN). A former heroin addict and Suboxone user, Mike now travels across the country to advocate for continued safe and legal access to kratom. He’s appeared in numerous publications and other podcasts to discuss his personal experiences with using kratom and advocacy work for consumers, including CBS Boston and The Free Thought Project.

BAN was formed organically after the in-custody death of Marshall Price in, who was convicted of “trafficking” kratom after police pulled him over in an illegal traffic stop and search. BAN is a grassroots movement of advocates and activists leveraging their skills in investigative journalism, education, justice reform, and guerrilla marketing tactics to help fight for continued safe access to kratom and all plant medicine. To date, Mike and BAN have helped to crowdfund over $32k for the family of Marshall Price and Shaina Brown’s legal fund, a victim of another illegal stop and resulting “trafficking” charge.
