About this episode
Dr. George Singletary, Assistant Professor of Addiction Medicine at Tulane University, joins Newell to take a closer look at kratom, the increasingly popular herbal substance showing up in smoke shops and gas stations, and examine its opioid-like effects, risk of dependence, the growing danger posed by powerful concentrated extracts, and interactions with other drugs.
