In a decisive operation in Sisaket, local police arrested a man suspected of illegally selling kratom-infused drinks to students. The arrest, made on a road in the Nong Wa subdistrict, Benchalak district, followed intense local complaints and led to the seizure of critical evidence: eight bottles of kratom tea, 16 bottles of cough syrup, and a boiling pot.

 

District Chief Thanadet Phra-arak ordered the crackdown, directing Deputy District Chief Supoj Chaikuchin alongside the 18th Benchalak Volunteer Defense Corps and local police officials. The operation was spearheaded by Police Lieutenant Colonels Thaniya Boonyarangkuan and Mukda Metipanyakul.

 


 

 

 

Local authorities had received numerous complaints about a suspect peddling kratom tea to students. In response, officers meticulously investigated, culminating in the apprehension. The suspect now faces severe charges, including selling kratom tea without a permit, distributing it to minors, and promoting its use mixed with other psychoactive substances among young people.

 

The confiscated items and the suspect have been handed over to investigators as legal proceedings commence, highlighting the region's stringent approach to illegal substance control and the protection of its youth.

Must be an acquired taste?

I thought that kratom was made legal a few years ago, like cannabis. Of course, they would still presumably be guilty if it isn’t registered and taxed.
