Kratom is a $1.5 billion a year industry in the U.S., but too few people know anything about it. You can find kratom at gas stations, vape shops, convenience stores, coffee shops, grocery stores… it’s more common than you may realize. But is it a beneficial botanical or a lethal opioid? Stay Tuned spent weeks talking to health experts, chronic and recreational users, a family who lost a loved one, the American kratom Association and others to find out what it is, what it’s used for, whether it’s dangerous, how should it be regulated, and ultimately, should it be legal. Find out why the substance is so difficult to regulate, and ultimately, whether or not it should be illegal.
