Join Hannah as she explores the world of kratom. Is this a life changing supplement or is this a form of gas station heroin that will add fuel to a growing narcotic epidemic in our nation? Touching on kratom legality, do we outlaw kratom like the FDA wants to as a Schedule 1 drug to try and protect people, or do we start pushing for more education and research to see if this can make a difference in the pain relief field? Two people came forward to share their stories; one story is told to highlight the kratom risks, another story told to show the kratom benefits. Tune in this week to learn about both sides of the story, and drop your comments or thoughts to our Instagram @underthescrubspodcast.
