Of all Mitragyna species, only Mitragyna speciosa -kratom- is widely acknowledged to be psychoactive. Its leaves contain a variety of indole compounds, some common in closely related taxa and others unique to kratom.
Of the compounds found only in kratom, at least two (mitragynine and 7-hydroxy-mitragynine) have been demonstrated to bind mu-opiate receptors in the body and brain. While mitragynine is the most abundant alkaloid in the kratom plant, it is 7-hydroxy-mitragynine in particular that has been shown to exert potent painkilling effects in mice similar to morphine. Like opiates, kratom also demonstrates antitussive and antidiarrheal properties that can be reversed by naloxone, an opiate antagonist. Unlike opiates, mitragynine also demonstrates some stimulant properties similar to yohimbine.
Like many other natural botanicals however, kratom's subjective effects are probably due to the activities of many different compounds, the relative proportions of which determine the qualitative character of a particular strain. Thus the exact chemical basis of kratom's effects are murkier than it might seem and isolated alkaloid extracts have been shown to be less effective than the raw plant. For this reason, we believe that kratom extracts fall short of the magic of plain, unaltered kratom leaf.
The alkaloid content of kratom leaves varies depending on age and growing conditions such as moisture and temperature. Seasonal variations are commonly observed in non equatorial locations. Genetics plays a part as well since distinct populations of kratom can differ quite dramatically from other nearby populations resulting in an amazing abundance of distinct varieties and strains with different properties.
Despite being officially illegal, kratom use is widespread in Southern Thailand and is rooted in traditions that date back beyond antiquity. In more recent centuries, Kratom has been used as an opium substitute and is still frequently used in Malaysia as an informal treatment for opiate addiction. Throughout Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand today, fresh kratom leaves are chewed by manual laborers in order to increase endurance and motivation. Interestingly enough, though use of the plain leaf is widely tolerated, extracts and concentrates are stigmatized as being harmful drugs especially in Thailand.
Despite this, attitudes toward kratom in its native Southeast Asian countries are shifting toward re-legalisation as the benefits of kratom, particularly for treating opiate addiction, have become clear while the colonialist nature of anachronistic drug laws are becoming increasingly salient.
In contrast to its long history in the East, kratom has only in recent years become widely available in North America. In that short time, it has managed to earn a uniquely loyal following. Far from being a quick "legal high" like Salvia divinorum, Kratom is an extraordinary ethnobotanical rarity which may one day find its way into the Canadian medicine cabinet.

Kratom is illegal in Thailand and Malaysia, thus we only stock kratom that is legally harvested and exported from Indonesia (including Borneo Island). There is a dazzling array of different kratom varieties across the Indonesian archipelago which easily rivals that of Thailand in potency and diversity. While many vendors sell kratom that is grown and harvested from Indonesia as "Thai" or "Malaysian", we disagree with this misleading practice and stand by the exceptional quality of our Indonesian leaves.
Our commitment to quality starts at the source. All of our kratom is legally imported and bears official phytosanitary certification after being inspected for pathogens and agricultural pests. By working closely with the producers themselves, we are able to monitor each step of the production process, ensuring consistent, uncompromising quality while offering the best prices possible to our customers.
