A detailed cultural history of kratom use, safer use advice, information on the various Mitragyna species and relatives, tripreports and literature references.

This book is the first serious publication on this psychoactive plant, which has been used as a medicine in Southeast Asia for thousands of years, can be helpful in opiate addiction, and is still legal in German-speaking countries. The kratom tree, botanically Mitragyna speciosa, whose leaves contain psychotropic active ingredients, is found in Southeast Asia and has a long history there as an intoxicant and entheogen. Its pharmacological effects can be described as classically paradoxical, as kratom induces either sedative or stimulant effects, depending on dose, set, and setting. Includes a detailed cultural history of kratom use, safer-use notes, information on the various Mitragyna species and relatives, tripreports, and literature references.
