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.

    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.

      I should have mentioned my previous usage. At at one point I was using up to three level teapoons a day, which would amount to about 7 & 1/2 gpd. I didn’t do that for very long, as I wasn’t in extreme physical pain.
