Kratom

Kratom (or Mitragyna speciosa, Urban Ice Organics) has been consumed for hundreds of years in Southeast Asia, but it is relatively new to being consumed in North America. It is usually taken in either capsule form (pills), mixed in water (tea), or by directly placing the powder in your mouth and immediately taking water/liquids to wash it down (toss and wash). It is not smoked or injected intravenously. There have been ongoing movements to keep kratom legal in the United States of America due to the reported helpful uses but "lack" of scientific study. The kratom documentary called "A Leaf of Faith" directed by Chris Bell provides tremendous insight and educational information about the uses of the plant and the current political climate it faces.
