In a recent joint operation, authorities in Khon Kaen, Thailand, raided a local establishment known for selling kratom tea mixed with cough medicine.
The raid was initiated following multiple complaints about the shop’s 24-hour operation and late-night noise disturbances. Upon arrival, the police found the establishment bustling with customers, many of whom had glasses containing kratom leaves on their tables. A significant amount of cough medicine, both in pill and liquid form, was also discovered.
The shop’s operators were detained, and samples of the kratom tea were collected for analysis. Authorities have charged the individuals with multiple offenses, including selling kratom tea mixed with drugs and practicing pharmacy without a license.
The raid serves as a cautionary tale for other establishments and highlights the ongoing scrutiny of kratom products.
