The DEA has considered scheduling kratom as a controlled substance, but lobbying pressure has delayed action. Meanwhile, more families are losing loved ones to a drug most Americans know nothing about.

Despite the risks, kratom is sold in gas stations, smoke shops, and online with zero oversight. No FDA approval. No age restrictions. No significant warning labels.

Kratom is often marketed as a “natural” alternative for pain, anxiety, or opioid withdrawal. But don’t be fooled, it's addictive, dangerous, and unregulated. In high doses, it can cause seizures, liver damage, and death.

Tyler Wall, a beloved fitness coach who trained YouTuber MrBeast, died earlier this year. The cause? Mitragynine toxicity. This tragic loss is a wake-up call. Mitragynine is an indole-based alkaloid and a main psychoactive constituent in the plant Mitragyna speciosa, which is.

Sinema touts FDA approval as the “north star” after a chat at Ambio Life Sciences, but glosses over ibogaine’s cardiotoxicity data and lack of scalable safety protocols.

Investors rushing into fast-acting psychedelics should pause. These compounds can trigger psychosis, HPPD (“flashbacks”), elevated heart rate and blood pressure, and exacerbate mental health disorders.

Kratom is often marketed as a “natural” remedy for pain, anxiety, and opioid withdrawal but it isn’t benign. There are currently no FDA-approved kratom products or over-the-counter drugs containing kratom’s active alkaloids (mitragynine, 7-OH-mitragynine). The FDA warns of.

We take a look at Dr. Yifrah Kaminer's work, which explores the complex links between suicidal intent and drug addiction and overdose, especially as they relate to youth. Read a TDR original that strives to make sense of it all.

We’re hearing a lot about using psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD or ketamine for PTSD but the science just isn’t there yet. Outside of esketamine, no FDA-approved trials prove safety or efficacy. We need rigorous research and caution. A word from @KevinSabet.
