PODCAST 29: Thai Kratom policy with Pascal Tanguay

Pascal Tanguay is a researcher who has lived in Thailand studying kratom for over a decade, our discussion covers the way the Thai media used kratom as a tool to justify increasing budgets for law enforcement and the traditions surrounding kratom use in Thailand. 

My friend (and former Pharmacopeia producer) Soren is still collecting information on kratom use in the United States. If you'd like to take the survey he created with Dr. Oliver Grundmann you can do so here: Tinyurl.com/Kratomteasurvey

I can’t thank you enough for this episode. My wife is thai , I take kratom and I had to endure 6 long months living with my in laws on my brother in laws Farm. Strange is my best explanation of a lot of the societal beliefs in Thailand

If you want to know why the cab driver got so scared, I highly suggest you develop your street smarts. No offense meant at all. I suspect a few of your interviews with locals/users/interviewees have had a strong police presence. The cabbie must have realized this.
