Rekordný záťah: colníci zhabali 800 kíl kratomu, Babiš chce pritvrdiť

Czech customs officials in Brno have seized a record 800 kilograms of kratom destined for illegal distribution within the country. This significant bust was announced by the Czech Customs Administration via social media, though specific details regarding the location of the seizure and any arrests remain undisclosed for now. The operation follows a recent multi-agency crackdown on the illicit sale of kratom and CBD products, which resulted in the confiscation of 155 kilograms of kratom and the closure of several businesses and online stores. Kratom, a psychoactive substance from Southeast Asia, has stimulant effects in small doses and sedative effects in larger ones, comparable to potent drugs.

The record seizure and ongoing debate highlight concerns about the accessibility of kratom, particularly to minors, prompting calls for stricter regulations and a potential shift in the Czech Republic's drug policy.
