Escalatory risks of kratom use. Ryan quit drinking six years ago, but when his beloved dad died, he became addicted to the popular kratom/kava drinks, spending upward of $30,000 on the habit. He ended up abusing opiates for the first time in his life and relapsed on alcohol before he was finally able to quit kratom and pursue complete abstinence. Article discussed:
