E2 - Kratom and Insurgency in Thailand
Update: 2024-05-03
Description
In the US, kratom is used by millions of people for energy, focus, pain relief, and opium withdrawal.

In this episode of Drug Cultures, I explore the origins of kratom prohibition, its recent decriminalization, and its purported connection to a violent separatist insurgency.
