Kratom news and regulation

Between January of last year and May of this year, the state’s toxicology lab saw 58 death cases in which one or more Mitragynine-related substances were detected in a biological sample.

“We’ve seen a shift in the market of Kratom use within the state of Oklahoma,” Chief Forensic Toxicologist Jesse Kemp said. “Traditionally over the years it was just normal plant products. We’ve seen a shift into concentrated tinctures and tablets of various Mitragynine alkaloids, and these are concerning because they have a strong opioid-like activity similar to morphine or fentanyl.”

The toxicology lab started seeing an increase in these substances showing up in cases last fall into this year.

“Traditionally when we saw Kratom-related fatalities they typically had other drugs on board as well that contributed to that,” Kemp said

“As we move forward with some of these more concentrated alkaloids we’re seeing them in isolation so it may be the only drug that we detect in a death that looks like a drug overdose.”

I like how you cut off probably the most important part of that quote

it may be the only drug

still no signs that these drugs are deadly in isolation

lol, ok

You are unable to take in context from 2 comments above, incredible

yea cause you quoted yourself and those 3 quotes are incomplete sentences that make no sense

Are you a complete retard who has to be spoonfed everything or just being obstinate because you can’t make money off selling to conversion labs much longer

so it MAY BE the only drug we detect in a death

So why did you cut that part of the quote off?


Literally just trimmed out the part that doesn’t support your bs lmao

no thats literally what you’re doing. They literally are stating they’re seeing kratom alkaloids along side of other drugs.

the only thing that supports your statements are that they MAY BE seeing reports where kratom alkaloids are the only drug present in a death that APPEARS like a drug overdose.

The only definitive statement that they are making is there are few, if any, kratom only deaths.

you are also ignoring the FDA adverse events report showing that some soaps have more adverse events reporting than 7OH

Cause i was highlighting the MAY BE. I could also highlight the LOOKS LIKE part.

Notice they don’t say deaths that ARE drug over doses. Notice how these people are not making any definitive statements that open them up to libel/slander

Wasn’t very thorough in my searches but didn’t see this mentioned. 7OH has 30 days left before being treated like it’s meth (for a couple years at the very least).
