MisinformationThere is a lot of misinformation about kratom in the US, and this can be attributed to a number of factors. Some of the misinformation may stem from the lack of research available on the safety and effectiveness of kratom. The FDA has not approved kratom for any medical use, and has warned of potential dangers associated with its use when used incorrectly. Additionally, some individuals and organizations have invested interest in promoting negative information about kratom, such as those in the pharmaceutical industry who see kratom as a threat to their profits. It's important for individuals to educate themselves on the potential risks and benefits of kratom so they can truly benefit from the positive benefits this natural plant can provide. By staying informed and promoting responsible use, we can help combat the spread of misinformation surrounding kratom.

Is Kratom AddictiveIn short the answer is yes. Kratom does have the potential to be addictive if used improperly, and it's important for individuals to educate themselves prior to use. While some people have reported using kratom to successfully manage opioid addiction and withdrawal, it's worth noting that kratom itself can be addictive if used in high doses or over long periods of time. It's worth noting that kratom is related to coffee and is similarly addictive, but the potential risks and benefits of its use should be carefully considered on an individual basis. By educating ourselves and each other on the potential risks and benefits of kratom, we can promote safe and responsible use and minimize the risk of addiction or other negative side effects. Food for Thought: Do you know anyone drinking a pot of coffee everyday? Throwing back energy drinks? If so, what would happen if they stopped consuming it all together tomorrow? Education, education, education...

LegalityThe legality of kratom varies by from state to state and county by county. It's important for individuals to research the laws and regulations surrounding kratom in their specific area before using it. Why Are There Legal Issues? As mentioned above, with misinformation out there and the lack of regulation of what's being manufactured, people have misused Kratom with no instructions to follow. These occurrences have left ongoing battles and controversy throughout the US as we all continue to advocate for safe and effective use of Kratom. Is it Legal in Colorado? Kratom is legal at a state level, but you must be 21 or older to purchase or consume.
