Growing in the green forests of Southeast Asia is a tree known as Mitragyna speciosa, from which we get a herbal substance called the kratom extract. These trees grow very tall, reaching 25 m, and produce long leaves, the primary source of kratom products. There are many kratom strains, and the red maeng da strain is widely recognized as the most potent.

For many reasons, the extract is banned in several countries, like Myanmar, Malaysia, New Zealand, and many others.

The cosmetic industry, the film points out, is especially lacking in federal regulation. It isn’t at all unlikely that the Chanel No 5 cologne that you spray on your body contains some of the same ingredients as your toilet bowl cleaner. Are you horrified? You will be by the time you’re about 20 minutes into Stink! Continue reading Movie Review: Stink! →

Say goodbye to Darvon, the once-popular painkiller. The FDA is pulling it from the market “because it can cause fatal heart rhythms.” RIP Darvon. You were never quite strong enough to overcome my tolerance, but at least you tried.
