Episode Details

Dauphin County Coroner Graham Hetrick warns that kratom, marketed as a harmless natural supplement, is a dangerous, addictive drug that hijacks the brain’s reward system like opioids. After being offered a free sample that felt eerily similar to heroin, Hetrick saw firsthand the deadly toll it’s taking. Former users like Kyle Beasley, who was lured in by false promises of safety and experienced a heroin-like high, now struggle with devastating consequences—including losing control of their family’s basic needs. Greg Kiesow, founder of Kratom Anonymous, calls it an isolating, insidious trap, but also offers hope: recovery is possible, and there’s life beyond addiction.
