The New York Post recently published an article regarding kratom that relied heavily on blatant misinformation supplied by the DEA. The article claimed 10% of the 23,000 respondent to the call for public comments claimed they supported the DEA ban. They relied on a claim of 15 attributable deaths related to kratom that has bee debunked numerous times. There was also an “anonymous source” who alleged serious withdrawal symptoms related to kratom. Kratom is a Southeast Asian plant related to coffee used for hundreds of years as a folk medicine that many consider to be a life-saver.
