Kratom

Kratom is a controlled substance in Thailand, Bhutan, Australia, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Lithuania, Malaysia and Myanmar (Burma). The effects of kratom use are similar to the effects of opiate receptor agonists such as codeine or hydrocodone. Kratom's psychoactive effects typically fade after a few hours. As with most other opiate receptor agonists, Kratom is addictive and withdrawal symptoms may occur after prolonged regular use. Withdrawal symptoms can include depression, fatigue, restlessness and insomnia.
