Depending on who you ask, kratom is either a stimulant or a sedative.
In Thailand, day laborers have traditionally chewed the leaves of the kratom tree to boost energy and soothe muscle aches. Here in the U.S., powdered forms of the product are used to make an earthy tea used to treat pain, depression, anxiety and addiction.
When taken in small doses, people report feeling alert and motivated. In high quantities, kratom can have opioid-like analgesic effects. Unfortunately, owing to a lack of approved research, much of the conversation surrounding kratom still remains anecdotal. But that hasn’t kept it from growing in appeal.
Currently, an estimated https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31647958/&sa=D&source=editors&ust=1614366348401000&usg=AOvVaw0mtiN2W2CwJHGVt_Oewn4 Y" target="_blank" rel="noopener">10 million to 15 million Americans are using kratom, and for the purposes of this story, I became one of them, testing a few doses of Green Maeng Da kratom, which purports to have motivational effects (more about that later).
More at the link, it was a decent enough report. Justin Kats, the founder of Kats Botanicals, features in it by the end. 🙂

Very nice article. It’s one with an open minded approach and non biased in the least . What I call good reporting ! Very refreshing . Given that the author is in SF, I’m not surprised with the honesty expressed .
Thank you sir broamski Babel 🙏
