    Kratom is one of those things that shouldn’t be legal

    Take a tiny bit and it’s a cup coffee, take a lot and it’s like an opioid.

    With a fast accumulating tolerance, people eventually reach the point where they get that surprise opioid like dose when they’re expecting a cup of coffee.

    And even if they don’t like it, tough shit. They’re already addicted by that point, they can’t just stop taking it.

    Add on how it’s completely unregulated and who knows how much of anything is in any pill, and it’s an epidemic waiting to happen.
