Some people who have tried the drinks — which contain kratom and kava — say they became addicted. Experts have cautioned about kratom use.

Shouldn't be shocked that something containing addictive substances is in fact addictive.

A big part of the problem is people buy it not knowing it contains addictive substances. Im really into drugs (science and the chemistry not really doing them) so I already heard about kratom but apparently most people just have never heard of it.
