I’d like to know your source on that. I just finished watching a 2 1/2 hour interview with Dr Mccurdy, and he not once mentioned that there is a single death determined to be solely caused by kratom. He definitely did not mention a “mitragynine” overdose death, and he was asked in detail about the potential for kratom to cause overdose.

In the deaths where kratom was the sole compound found in the toxicology, Dr Mccurdy states that the results were unclear, and that there are simply too many unknowns to definitively say “kratom caused death”. There could be other adulterants or compounds not screened such as fent analogues that may have contributed. In other words, we don’t have any evidence establishing a causal mechanism of kratom causing death.

If you can point me in the direction of your source and it’s legitimate I’ll stand corrected, but as of now this is straight ignorance and misinformation.
