Kratom Cliff Notes: What is it?

Let’s start with the basics, what is kratom? All kratom comes from the dried leaves of the Mitragyna Speciosa tree, a species native to Southeast Asia and a relative to the coffee plant. It thrives in hot, humid climates making Southeast Asia the world’s top kratom source. This botanical has been used by the native peoples in this region for centuries as a part of their holistic well-being — lifting spirits, relaxing the body, and liberating the mind.

 

Kratom comes in three main varieties, red vein, green vein, and white vein. The color refers to the age of the leaves when they are harvested with red vein leaves being the most mature, green vein in the middle, and white vein the youngest leaves. The age of the leaf also determines its alkaloid content, the part of kratom that makes it work. Learn more about the science of kratom here. After specialized curing techniques and purity checks, the leaves are crushed and made into the kratom you can buy online today.

 

The effects of the kratom strains can be broken down simply by remembering red is for bed, white gets you right, and green is in between. If you’re looking for a deep dive on kratom, check this out. Dosage also matters in the effects you’d like to experience. A low dose can produce a more energizing effect, a higher dose can bring deep relaxation.

Founded in 2014, the American Kratom Association’s vision has always been to protect the rights and safety of kratom users across the nation.

The American Kratom Association, also known as the AKA, is the non-profit advocate group for kratom users throughout the United States. 

 

Thanks to the AKA, not all legislative efforts that affect kratom users and kratom vendors are prohibitive. They are working to get all states on board with the Kratom Consumer Protection Act. This act will help regulate the kratom industry – keeping consumers safe and providing kratom manufacturers a set of safety standards to follow. The AKA actively monitors federal, state, city, and municipal legislation in the battle for kratom legality.
