What is kratom?
Kratom comes from the leaves of a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, according to the Department of Justice.
In low doses, kratom can be used as a stimulant, but in high doses, it works as a sedative.
It can lead to psychotic symptoms and psychological and physiological dependence, similar to an opioid addiction.
There have been reports of kratom reacting negatively with other medications and this can sometimes lead to severe effects, such as liver damage and even death, according to the Mayo Clinic.
