S5 E31 - Defining Kratom Use: Addiction, or Dependence? A Drug, or a Medicine?
Today we hear from a new listener who is trying kratom for the first time this week in the hopes that it will help them with their struggle with alcohol.
Then, we respond to another listener’s email exploring the differences between addiction and dependence, what is a drug versus medicine, and is it really right to take a “middle of the road” view of kratom if evidence leans more one way?
