In Thailand, Kratom use typically involves ingestion of the plant’s raw leaves or consumption of teas that are brewed or steeped from the leaves. Kratom leaves are used for their complex, dose-dependent pharmacologic effects.
- Low to moderate doses (1-3 g) of the leaves reportedly produce mild stimulant effects that enable workers to stave off fatigue.
- Moderate to high doses (4-8 g) are reported to have opioid-like effects. At these doses, kratom has been used for the management of pain, diarrhea, and opioid withdrawal symptoms, as well as for its properties as a euphoriant.
- Very high doses (>8 g) of Kratom tend to be quite sedating and can induce stupor, mimicking the sedative “nodding out” effects of strong opioids.
