The possible side effects brought along by kratom smoking.

There are many different side effects of smoking kratom, and most of these effects are health effects, which affect the lungs, cause cancer, brain damage and above all opiate addiction. These effects are as explained below:

• 1. Damage of the lungs. Smoking kratom requires large amounts kratom be used in the smoke process as the user will consume up to 20-25 grams of kratom in the process as opposed to oral consumption which requires 2-5 grams. Therefore, these large amounts of kratom that are smoked end up causing different lung related effects and these effects end up damaging the lungs of the consumer. Kratom smoking is just like smoking cigarettes, and this is dangerous as it damages your lungs massively. With this sense, it is therefore evident that smoking a lot of kratoms is risky to your health.
  2. Risk of acquiring cancer. Smoking kratom is a significant way of getting cancer especially throat cancer. It is because through smoking much kratom, the user consumes high levels of tar content, which kratom leaves contain used for producing the kratom powder that is used for smoking. Smoking this kratom releases high amounts of tar content into the smoker’s lungs in a direct manner, and this will heavily increase the chances of getting lung cancer very high for the smoker. They are therefore at risk from the kratom as it will lead to them getting cancer and other lung-related diseases.
  3. The alkaloid content in the body. Smoking kratom leaves lead to the neutralization of the other alkaloids present in the user’s body, as it will end up turning the available alkaloids into useless alkaloids. This is because the kratom leaves contain high levels of kratom alkaloids.
  4. Other side effects are like; Sweating, dizziness, itching, nausea and vomiting, changes in metabolism rate, insomnia and headache. These are however short-term effects of consuming kratom through smoking.

Smoking kratom is not advisable.

First and foremost, smoking kratom cannot always give the results that everyone expects as many have been disappointed with its outcome. This is because you end up using a lot of kratom powder in the smoking process than you would have used in the other means of consumption.

It is therefore dependent on the user to determine whether consuming kratom through smoking is the best way for him or her. Much of it will be used in the smoking process and as explained above, there are dare effects of smoking kratom, and therefore I suggest that smoking kratom is not advisable as it leads to dangerous health effects, but it is useful to those who prefer it as it gives that required effect of the kratom. Therefore smoking kratom is not advisable.
