Compared to the more powerful opiate painkillers, the number of people addicted to mitragynine is extremely low. This substance is much less addictive than opiates, and the withdrawal syndrome, by all accounts, is much less severe.

No proper clinical testing has been done and we have only anecdotal reports to go on. The biggest danger lies not with the herbs (since some of these have had a long history of indigenous use) but with the so called "Party Pills" and herbal ecstasy pills that contain anything from methamphetamine analogues to aporphine alkaloids like Glaucine. Not to mention that the manufacturers of these products make it a point to NOT reveal the ingredients of their pills let alone the quantity of the ingredients. I can agree how the use of such products could serve a purpose in Harm Reduction, but the very fact that the manufacturers do not reveal the contents of what they sell, poses a terrible risk to the consumer.AJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16139932308408166791[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37623912.post-83326565909665232002008-08-11T02:45:00.000-04:002008-08-11T02:45:00.000-04:00I don't quite agree with the second comment made. ...I don't quite agree with the second comment made. Mitragynin and 7-OH are not terribly addictive. Whilst 7-OH is more potent than Morphine (probably on par with hydromorphone), the administration of the whole plant reduces the overall addictive potential due to the other alkaloids present, one of which acts as a partial mu-agonist, another as a full antagonist at mu and yet another as an NMDA-antagonist. Additionally, withdrawal symptoms have been described as being milder than that of morphine, and shorter in duration. Whilst tachyphylaxis is expected of most mu-agonists, 7-OH-mitragynine is selective for mu-1, not mu-2. <BR/>Good article by the way.
