I wouldn't touch the stuff until the scientific community is done vetting it and gives it a thumbs up. Until then the risk is way too high for me. Plus this drug needs controls, like dosage, side effect warnings, and the like. It would definitely be a controlled substance like opioids.

I'm with you @timbrownfl

"On Thursday, June 30, as part of the FDA's efforts to protect consumers, the agency issued warning letters, jointly with the Federal Trade Commission, to four companies selling unapproved kratom products and one company selling essential oils for the treatment or cure of opioid use disorder and withdrawal symptoms. Jul 5, 2022"
