Yep, can't tax Kratom so it's illegal.

 

The youngsters will have to make do with getting drunk and aggressive on Government taxed Alcohol.

I don't even know what it looks like or the tree they grow on. But I heard it is mild high probably not much different Than drinking M150. I could be wrong.

So why is it illegal? As someone posted no taxes. I sure these trees grow in many back yards.

Looks like Basil leaves. Maybe good in Pasta Sauce ?

I make a drink of it every day and I'm as sound as a pound, just devalued a bit more everyday.

Can't be too "sound as a pound" if you are a foreigner who chooses to possess and use illegal drugs in Thailand.

"I sure these trees grow in many back yards." - any Thai can grow a tree, not all Thai's can distill or brew alcohol.

Are Kratom leaves 'distilled' ... I always thought the leaves were chewed ?

Well, I'm sound enough, even when living in the UK, to understand and use the following.
