Kratom drinks like Feel Free Classic are becoming more popular in the US, but studies show a risk of dependency
‘I couldn’t not have it in my system at any point because I would just start to physically feel ill.’‘I couldn’t not have it in my system at any point because I would just start to physically feel ill.’
At first, Bryan drank Feel Free at special occasions. Then, over several months, he started to consume it more often. Eventually, he was drinking it every day. The suggested dose is half a bottle, or 1oz, in 24 hours. Bryan was drinking the full bottle, then two, then three a day. A nagging feeling grew about how many he was drinking.
Adeoye heard about Feel Free on Lauryn Bosstick’s lifestyle podcast, The Skinny Confidential. Adeoye had recently stopped drinking alcohol, and “was really into making mocktails”, she told me. Mitragynine activates pathways that lead to reduction of pain, like opioids do. But it doesn’t appear to engage pathways associated with respiratory depression, which in drugs like morphine and fentanyl can lead to adverse effects. “You don’t get the full effect, even once you increase the dose,” Grundmann said.
“None of us actually think kratom should be prohibited,” Smith said. “We think it should be regulated. Clearly the regulatory space is a hellscape of uncertainty at this point for consumers.”he context in which people encounter Feel Free matters, because it influences what they think the product is for, and what it might do. The Feel Free bottle looks like an energy shot, in size and shape. It’s sold in health food stores or given out at sport events.
