What's Kratom

Kratom refers to the plant Mitragyna speciosa Korth., a tree indigenous to Thailand; it's mostly grown within the central and southern regions of the country, and just rarely in the north. The Mitragyna genus, area of the family Rubiaceae, is found in tropical and sub-tropical parts of Asia and Africa. Asian Mitragynas in many cases are found in rainforests, while the African species (which are sometimes still classed inside a separate genus, Hallea) in many cases are present in swamps. Most species are arborescent, some reaching heights of almost 100 feet. The genus was given its name by Korthals since the stigmas in the first species he examined resembled the shape of a bishop's mitre. This genus is characterized by a globular flowering head, bearing as much as 120 florets each. During the flower bud stage, the developing florets are surrounded and completely covered by numerous overlapping bracteoles. Mitragyna species are used medicinally and for their fine timber through the areas they grow.

Kratom is traditionally only used in Thailand, even though some use within Malaysia has been reported. Besides kratom (or krathom), additionally, it goes by what they are called ithang, kakuam, and in southern regions, thom. Use dates far enough back that its beginning can not be determined. In addition to being used as a narcotic drug on its own, it's used as an alternative for opium when opium is unavailable, in order to moderate opium addiction. In folk medicine, it's used to tread diarrhea. A little minority of users use kratom to prolong sexual activity.

Users distinguish various kinds of kratom, two main kinds being distinguished through the color of veins within the leaf - red or green/white. The green-veined variety should really have a stronger effect. One study which surveyed Thai kratom users found that most users preferred a mixture of both, followed by red-veined alone after which white-veined alone. Growers in Australia are convinced that both red and white veining occurs at different times in different plants which were all cloned from the same mother plant. They have not yet undertaken comparisons between the two.

Nearly all kratom me is by chewing fresh leaves. Other ways it is taken include grinding up and eating fresh, dried, or reconstituted dried leaves. Some villagers make use of the leaves in cooking. While preparing fresh leaf, the vein is extracted and often salt is put into try and prevent constipation. Consumption of the leaf is generally followed by drinking something hot, for example warm water or coffee. Leaves may also be smoked, converted into a tea, or perhaps a crude resin extraction can be created. This resin extract is created by preparing a water extract from the leaves, boiling it down, and then shaping it into small balls which are rolled in a material such as flour, then stored until use. This is apparently a very popular approach to consumption.

Users of kratom tend to be peasants, laborers, and farmers who make use of the plant to overcome the burdens of the effort and meager existences. Female users are apparently quite rare. Age of usage onset seems to be greater than for other drugs. Some research has found no addiction problems in villagers using kratom, while some apparently have. It appears likely when used in doses sufficient for mu receptor crossover (discussed below), addiction is really a strong possibility. Heavy users may chew kratom between 3 and Ten times each day. While new users may require a few leaves to get the desired effects, quite a few users find with time they need to increase doses to 10-30 leaves or maybe more per day.

In some areas, it had been asserted parents would choose to give their daughters in marriage to men that used kratom rather than men who used marijuana. The idea is that kratom users are difficult working, while marijuana users are lazy. This belief can also be maintained by many of the users themselves, who report beginning use because of a desire to work more proficiently, and who say while using drug gives them a powerful need to will work.

The Thai government passed the Kratom Act 2486 which went into impact on August 3, 1943. This law makes planting the tree illegal and requires existing trees to be reduce. This law wasn't found effective, since the tree is native to the country. Today, kratom is classed within the same enforcement group as cocaine and heroin by Thai law, and it has the same penalties. One ounce of extract is punishable by death. As with prohibition laws elsewhere on the planet, it has succeeded limited to increasing underground community prices. An associated species, Mitragyna javanica, is often used as an alternative to get around the law, but it's not considered as effective. The dominant alkaloid within this species is mitrajavine, which has not pharmacologically tested.
