Eli5: what is kratom?

485 viewsBiologyOther

Sorry if the tag is wrong I couldn’t decide between biology or chemistry.

So I’m in New York City for the weekend on vacation this week. Where I live I have never seen this stuff despite being in a weed legal state.

I’ve passed a bunch of stores just today that have signs that say “weed and kratom”. I tried doing some google searches but it honestly left me more confused than resolved lol.

I know it’s apparently all natural and might help with opioid withdrawal (I’m not addicted to painkillers I’m just saying what I read)

So basically I’m just confused as to what this stuff even is?

Edit : I have no interest in it, I’m just curious what it is

It’s basically a pseudo heroin addiction for people who don’t like needles but drink a lot of homemade shakes. There’s a dude on youtube basically recording how it’s actively ruining his life. He already lost his wife to that stuff and he’s still going.
