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.

    I’ve tried it, not for me personally I like Kava more but yeah it’s a super mild mellow effect barely more intoxicating than coffee. I’d love to see the product more regulated than it is but it certainly doesn’t warrant the direct comparison to opiods or heroin
