kratom

Industry Minister Suriya Juangroongruangkit has ordered the Thai Industrial Standards Institute to quickly announce an industrial standard for kratom leaf extract to promote related products after the kratom plant was removed from the country’s narcotic list.

The use and sales of kratom leaves were legalized in Thailand today and 1,038 inmates jailed earlier for their previous use were freed, according to Justice Minister Somsak Thepsuthin.
