Many kratom companies started to due kratom "shots", extremely concentrated kratom which obviously makes it's addictive properties worse.

I experimented a bit with it, at 1/3 dosage that the powder form is usually recommended and started noticing slight additiction creeping up so I threw it down the toiler.

That being said, we also need to start labeling sugar with the same addictiveness label. After quitting sugar and processed sweets for ~1 months it's crazy how you don't even realized you were addicted to them until you fully stop eating it.


While I agree it's a good idea to be aware of your sugar and calorie intake in general, I'm not sure it's the same sort of "addictiveness".

We have "high added sugar" warning labels here, as well has high sodium and high saturated fat:
