WHAT IS KRATOM?
Kratom is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia. Consumption
of its leaves produces both stimulant effects (in low doses) and
sedative effects (in high doses), and can lead to psychotic symptoms,
and psychological and physiological dependence. Kratom leaves
contain two major psychoactive ingredients (mitragynine and
7-hydroxymytragynine). These leaves are crushed and then smoked,
brewed with tea, or placed into gel capsules. Kratom has a long history
of use in Southeast Asia, where it is commonly known as thang,
kakuam, thom, ketum, and biak. In the U.S., the abuse of kratom has
increased markedly in recent years.
