Tbh, that stuff should be regulated. It’s basically gas station opiates. The condensed stuff is the real problem though. It’s easy to get hooked and is an absolute nightmare to get off of.

Ended up in the hospital from Kratom once. Stuff is not a joke.

If it was chewable tablets, then yeah. That can fuck you up if you’re not going slow. Tastes like sugar nom nom nom ☠️

My local grocery store started selling kratom sodas next to the refrigerated coffee drinks. I think that's completely bonkers. There's no info about how it can affect you on the can, it just says to not drink more than one a day
