FDA, DEA Launch Massive Assault On Kratom – Drug War For Miracle Plant Ramping Up

At worst, Kratom is only marginally addictive, with withdrawal symptoms similar to that of caffeine if taken in high doses for long periods of time . . .  maybe. The overwhelming majority of Kratom users, however, do not report “withdrawal” symptoms at all.
