Episode Description

Health officials are recommending a nationwide ban on kratom-related products due to their opioid addiction-like qualities, according to The Associated Press (AP). The ingredient is being added to energy drinks, gummies, and supplements sold at gas stations.

"It's really interesting, because it's kind of being marketed — It's like an opioid, and it's being just sold over the counter," KIRO host Jake Skorheim said on "The Jake and Spike Show" on KIRO Newsradio. "Anybody can walk in and buy it."
