27yr old dies from apparent kratom OD

[USNCTT]

Ok so I know NOTHING about kratom so i am not going to say anything about it being good or bad. What Pissed me off is the article headline states that he died using a COMMON BODYBUILDING SUPPLEMENT. Excuse me? Common? Creatine is common, kratom is not lol.

the article is confusing and the website is bullshit. constantly poppin up ads. may be fake. talked about a guy dying and then they interviewed a guy who got great gains from kratom? but had to go the hospital? nut sack was tight and his legs were tired? there were 15 deaths possibly related to kratom in 2 years. holy shit. those guys need to take tylenol for their pain not some dangerous unregulated drug from the mystical orient. what!?? what do you mean thosands of people die from accidental tylenol over doses each year? does the government know about this?

What's new the media targeting bodybuilding supplements.
I do believe it happened though but how do we know the kratom wasnt tainted with something? Maybe even metals..

Thanks for posting I've been researching it a bit tried some recently the red Mao kind and it felt like I was being propelled forward as I was walking...only took a small amount

Dead from Kratom? Oh hell no. What did the guy do, mellow out, fall over and hit his head?

Kratom has different strengths. I think it's actually illegal in Europe. People use it to try to get off opioids. They take too much and end up dead. It's not just used as a bodybuilding supplement.
