Kratom Abuse Potential 2021: An Updated Eight Factor Analysis

Abstract: Drugs are regulated in the United States (US) by the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) if assessment of their abuse potential, including public health risks, show such control is warranted. An evaluation via the 8 factors of the CSA provides the comprehensive assessment required for permanent listing of new chemical entities and previously uncontrolled substances. Such an assessment was published for two kratom alkaloids in 2018 that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have identified as candidates for CSA li… Show more

“…Self-report data posted on internet websites were summarized in several kratom use reviews (e.g., Cinosi et al 2015;Henningfield et al 2018Henningfield et al , 2022Swogger and Walsh 2018;Veltri and Grundmann 2019). These data suggest that kratom intake is typically limited by non-life-threatening but discomfort-producing gastrointestinal symptoms and/ or undesirable lethargy.…”

“…Kratom products are used globally for health and well-being, improved mood, sleep, attention, and coffee-caffeine-like alerting effects (Grundmann, 2017;Henningfield et al 2018Henningfield et al , 2022Swogger et al 2022). There is recreational use; however, many people who use opioids recreationally report kratom as a poor substitute for producing opioid-like euphoria but do find it useful to self-manage withdrawal and discontinue opioid use (Coe et al 2019;Garcia-Romeu et al 2020;Prozialeck et al 2019;Swogger et al 2022).…”

“…Studies aimed to establish lethal kratom doses have not induced any acute deaths with symptoms similar to morphine. Instead, at doses of mitragynine equivalent to hundreds or more times the typical human dose range, some animals died within days or weeks from a variety of causes unrelated to respiratory depression ( Henningfield et al, 2018 ; Prozialeck et al, 2019 ; Henningfield et al, 2022 ). Kratom doses of up to 807 mg/kg in rats or 920 mg/kg in dogs did not indicate signs of toxicity ( Macko et al, 1972 ).…”

“…Mitragynine was also found to reduce rodent morphine ( Hemby et al, 2018 ) and heroin self-administration ( Yue et al, 2018 ). See Henningfield et al (2022) in this special issue for an update of many more studies related to the abuse potential of kratom. Furthermore, administration of 7-hydroxymitragynine takes the equivalent of 100 times more than what humans consume to display reinforcing effects ( Hemby et al, 2018 ).…”
