My Kratom tree! Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) is in the same family as coffee, Rubiaceae, and has similar looking leaves. It's native to the rainforests of Southeast Asia where the leaves are used as medicine. Kratom has both stimulant and opioid effects that make it ideal for pain relief. I've been using it daily for a few years now for the nerve damage in my leg. They tried outlawing it last September but there was enough backlash from veterans and other pain patients that the DEA backed down. Anyway, it's a beautiful plant to say the least 🌿 #gardening #kratom #kratomplant #kratomtree #mitragyna #speciosa #mitragynaspeciosa #texas #texasgardening
