UF College of Pharmacy researchers have studied kratom, which comes from the leaves of a tropical tree from Southeast Asia, as a potential therapy to wean addicts off heroin or prescription opioids. It activates the same opioid receptors and appears to satisfy the craving, while possibly lessening the risk of respiratory depression.

Fact is, it starts here, it starts by studying the tree in order to learn all you can about it from the right people, people that we need on our side who truly understand its benefits and have a very loud voice.
