Description

The Mechanisms Behind Kratom Addiction

Kratom’s addictive potential lies in its active compounds, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine, which interact with the brain’s opioid receptors. These interactions can produce euphoria, pain relief, and sedation, similar to opioids like morphine and heroin. As users seek to recreate these pleasurable effects, they may find themselves increasing their dosage and frequency of use. Over time, this can lead to physical dependence and addiction, characterized by withdrawal symptoms when attempting to reduce or stop use.
