It was suspicious, so we stopped the truck for inspection.” Col Paitoon said that the driver, named as Chayaporn Tayeng, 29, also looked suspicious to police officers during their vehicle inspection. “We found three plastic boxes in the back of the truck. When we opened them, we found they were full of about 100kg of Kratom leaves,” Col Paitoon said.

johnnysunshine Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 The USA made it illegal effective 9/30/2016 and then reversed their decision about one week ago after the FDA and DEA got blasted by scientists and those who had been using for years for pain relief.
