Join the war on Kratom
What does google say about Kratom (7-OH)?
"Mitragyna speciosa"
Mitragyna speciosa is a tropical evergreen tree of the Rubiaceae family native to Southeast Asia. It is indigenous to Cambodia, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Papua New Guinea, where its dark green, glossy leaves, known as kratom, have been used in herbal medicine since at least the 19th century.
The Truth about Kratom
People who take kratom believe that it helps them. But kratom hasn't been shown to be safe or to treat any medical conditions. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned people not to use Kratom because of the harm it can cause. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration calls Kratom a "drug of concern."
Kratom has known side effects, including:
-
Weight loss.
-
Dry mouth.
-
Nausea and vomiting.
-
Constipation.
-
Liver damage.
-
Muscle pain.
-
High blood pressure.
Kratom also affects the mind and nervous system. It causes:
-
Dizziness.
-
Drowsiness.
-
Smells, tastes, sights, touches or sounds that seem real but aren't, called hallucinations.
-
False beliefs, called delusions.
-
Depression.
-
Trouble breathing.
-
Confusion, tremors and seizures.
