Kratom, known for its opioid- and stimulant-like effects, is sold widely and legally. But it can be fatal in very high doses.
  • Kratom, sometimes referred to as “gas station heroin,” is an herb with opioid- and stimulant-like effects.
  • It can be fatal in very high doses but is not subject to much federal regulation.
  • So states and cities have been banning kratom sales or enacting rules and restrictions.

    It’s odd how some people experience withdrawals and others don’t. I’ve gone cold turkey several times and didn’t have a bad time at all. Maybe a runny nose and some sleepiness, and that’s it.

    I agree it should not be sold to minors and that it should include harm-reduction info. We do it for alcohol and tobacco, after all.

      Based on your original comment, I think a lot of it had to do with the volume of daily usage, not just daily usage in and of itself.
