Is the Neighborhood ‘Going to Pot’? And What Is Kratom, Anyway?

Introducing kratom.

By Carol Tannenhauser

A new word has entered the lexicon of the neighborhood: kratom (pronounced cray-tum.) It is showing up increasingly on storefront signs and windows, often beside the letters CBD. In the case of CBD Kratom – a shop that will open on West 70th Street and Broadway, where Paris Baguette used to be – the sign also says, “Cannabis Dispensary Coming Soon.”

Is the neighborhood “going to pot,” as one commenter said, when we first announced this opening? What is CBD Kratom planning to dispense, and how soon? Recreational marijuana is legal in New York State now, but not likely to be available for sale to the public for at least a year, according to several sources. Is the store positioning itself for the future?

Actually, CBD Kratom is part of an already-thriving chain of 36 stores, spread out across five major U.S. cities, owned by a married couple named Dafna Revah, 28, and David Palatnik, 30. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, their company is called MNG (Mr. Nice Guy.) They started it in 2016.

WSR spoke with Dafna when she and David were in town this week to open their new Chelsea location. She expects the UWS shop to open “in two to three months.” It will offer CBD and Kratom products. Here’s what we learned about both.

Dafna and David in their Chelsea store, at 354 W. 14th Street.

There are over 600 products on the CBD side of the store. By now, it is widely known that CBD may come from the same plant as marijuana, but it is not marijuana. Proponents say it assuages a wide variety of physical ailments and needs — notably, pain, inflammation, and insomnia — but it does not alter consciousness. It is marijuana’s well-behaved cousin. Both may come from the cannabis plant, Dafna explains, but CBD does not contain what marijuana does: “Delta 9 THC,” the psychotropic and (until last month) illegal component of the plant.

“We are a cannabis dispensary, because we carry all cannabis products, except Delta 9 THC,” Dafna says. “We do carry Delta 8 THC, and it does have psychotropic effects similar to Delta 9,” she adds. “It’s very popular right now.”

Kratom is not derived from cannabis. It comes from the leaves of an evergreen tree (Mitragyna speciosa) that grows in Southeast Asia, and is related to the coffee plant. That may be why one of its alleged benefits is increased energy, Dafna says. “Kratom is a natural supplement. Right now, they just use the pure Kratom, which is a dried leaf. Depending on the fineness of the grind, it’s mainly used as a tea or with a powder consistency to put in smoothies and other foods. Some people prefer capsules, because it has a bitter taste.

“We fell into the CBD Kratom portion of our business,” she continues. David had previously owned a more traditional head shop. “We stayed in it because of what we’ve seen; we truly believe it. We hear endless stories; customers come back all the time, saying ‘this is the only thing I’ve found that has worked for me.’ Kratom is used by millions of people for pain management. That is the number one reason,” Dafna says. “It really just helps people manage their pain and live their lives. It’s truly something you have to almost see or hear to believe.”

David and Dafna unmasked.

Kratom is not without controversy. It is legal, but unregulated. Google it and you’ll find entries like “Ineffective and unsafe – Mayo Clinic”; “FDA Cracks Down on Kratom Products – WebMD”; and “The FDA’s kratom warning.” If you read the entries you’ll find claims that it is addictive (and counter claims that it can be used to cure opiate addiction.) You’ll also find a long list of potential adverse side effects.

“The bottom line,” according to the NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health is, “There haven’t been any clinical trials (studies in people) to evaluate the health effects of kratom….”

“I would say we fully disagree with their assertions,” Dafna responds. “And if anyone takes a deep dive into what they say, it’s really based on nothing, unfortunately.”

Dafna is glad to be opening on the Upper West Side. She went to Columbia University, and lived on its northern edge for awhile. She’s glad for another reason as well. “We already have a good customer base here from our online store,” she explains. “One of the main reasons we wanted to open on the Upper West Side is to serve our current customers better, and to gain new ones.”

Editor’s note: Do your own research. Talk to trusted others and your doctors before trying any new medicines, alternative or otherwise.

Millions of people use cannabis for pain relief and/or relaxation. For them it is effective, i.e. “it works.” There aren’t official studies as far as I know because weed is still federally illegal, so by that definition it is “alternative” medicine. (However CBD has been packaged as a prescription-only medicine called Sativex for spasticity in multiple sclerosis. So Big Pharma is not far behind here.)

Most publications you can find on Pubmed.gov regarding kratom use warn of potential toxicity and adverse effects, as well as lack of clear benefits or sufficient research. The degree of conflict of interests is off the charts when you have a kratom dealer singing praise of her kratom product and being skeptical about FDA’s position. In other news, I’ve never met a snake oil salesperson not liking their snake oil.

Indeed! It’s truly fascinating how people will so willingly take medicine that’s passed rigorous clinical trials to ensure that it’s safe and effective, but they won’t eat random mushrooms they find in the woods. I wonder what the difference could be?

(as a non-sarcastic aside, everything that’s made of atoms has a chemical composition. The only way to have medicine that’s not chemical in nature would be to use energy: light, sound, magnetic fields, or the like. Any pill or powder or leaf is made of chemicals no matter how “natural” the seller markets it as. So when you say “chemical based drugs” people should know that’s meaningless scaremongering)

Sarah, I’m 68 and have been asking for a pony all my life and still am ponyless. I even have a nice terrace on the 11th floor that would make a nice home for Colt. (yes I already have the name) But getting back to the legal pot in NYS. I personally have nothing against it, but there was something so much more romantic being in college and having to find the dorm room with the “spider drawing” to score from Sunshine. Now to go in to the dispensary, buy a pack of Sky High smokes, and then to Pinkberry for munchies? It feels so pasteurized. Trader Joe’s Chocolate Pretzels anyone?

Do these two people have any medical training? Have they conducted or contracted for any medical studies?

The fact that kratom is legal and allegedly “used by millions of people for pain management” does not convince me of this product’s benefits or safety.

Furthermore, I find it outrageous that this store is practically across the street from PS 199.

If an MD thinks you need it, maybe you do. If you yourself looking for ailments as an excuse to use it, you shouldn’t. If Bobby Bobby who got med education in the mall, you shouldn’t. Same with Goop and similar wizards.

But it definitely shouldn’t be sold in stores As if it is not a big deal, like regular stores.

Kratom aside, Cannabis dispensary licenses should go to people from the communities disproportionately affected by police targeting for possession of pot. This is an outside company that’s already positioning itself nationwide. Support local business and support dispensaries that will be opened by POC.

Why? Give me one good reason why the mere fact that someone got arrested for possession of pot (at the time when police were even bothering with this) is qualified, trustworthy, “license-able”, etc. to run such a store. One way or the other, they violated an existing law. Now we “should” be rewarding them with licenses?

They can go ahead and apply like all others. “Should” is not enough of a reason.

Because we all know white folks were not arrested or treated the same for violating the same rules. To be fair it was decriminalized for decades in NY and the federal ruling on stop and frisk related to marijuana harassment would tell you all you need to know about discrimination and marginalization. This is why communities disproportionally affected need to be vindicated for being targeted and singled out when everyone else did the same and never were approached by the NYPD.

That is not a good reason. It’s no less than racial payback, racial debt, literally.

Black people were targeted for smoking weed more than Whites, all true. And all that should stop and be fixed (expungements etc)

So now we are going to punish white people who had nothing to do with any of the prior wrong other than shared skin color by denying them licenses in favor of POCs who individually haven’t been imprisoned for weed. So it’s individual POCs benefiting for wrongs done to others with who they share skin color, at the expense of White people who I am sure have been asking for pot to be legalized forever and were never for locking anyone up for weed, and only because they are White. if you want to only patronize establishments by POCs the is of course a choice but the government should not be involved in that.

If POC folks gaining in society upsets you, then there is nothing I could say that would make you feel any empathy for folks experiencing racism and anti blackness in this city. No one talked about taking things away from white people, but if black people gaining immediately makes you feel like white folks are having things taken away from them, then that’s a bigger conversation we need to have.

Happy to see we are getting access to things that can make life more bearable here. Allowing women and men to sell their conjugal services openly and legally at the storefront level will be the next step forward. After that, every precinct can be redeveloped as a de-carceration hostel.

Do your own research, I remember when the”authorities” commented on marijuana, with the same rhetoric.
I’ve used Kratom for a few years to relieve pain, in my experience it’s not physically addictive, is available in mildly calming and mildly energizing strains and seems to have a positive effect on attitude.

As a healthcare provider, the only thing these products will do is separate you from your money, possibly elicit a placebo effect, and potentially cause toxicity. I wish success to all small business owners & I am sure they will do well, even though their product claims are baseless.

Kratom is a godsend for pain, and I expect I’d be hooked on opioids without it. No doubt, really. Yes, I wish there were more (any?) studies on kratom, but until then, I can only count it a great blessing.

Second-hand cigarette smoke has been experienced by millions of pedestrians, apartment dwellers and office occupants for decades and has produced extensive data. Compare that to the number of people frequently exposed to smoke from joints. I’m not aware of comparable studies. But I suppose we’ll find out eventually.

True, but ‘joints’ make up a pretty small percentage of pot consumption. Most folks use vapes which produce no smoke, and the vapors rarely have a scent. So while there are likely no studies, I find it hard to believe that it will come close to what 2nd hand smoke has been shown to do.

It will certainly be interesting to see how it all plays out. Co-op boards (and condo boards) will be able to deal with it fairly easily; in rental apartments, I imagine the “warranty of habitability” regulations will come into play. Stay tuned.

So, what: it’s used for insomnia by increasing energy, as in drink coffee and then go to sleep? hmm…

Does it work for migraines, joint pains and dandruff?

Let me guess: you’ll say yes to all three.

I don’t care if you use Kratom or Advil, but if you use it daily, you can’t say you aren’t physically or psychologically addicted. I’d like to know if it has any claim to health benefits, or if it is like Ambien, for example, where you keep having to raise the dose. That leads to toxicity, and whether or not you vomit some of it out, it’s still not a good thing. But I’m sure there are worse things one can take for pain. Moving the body usually helps more than does masking pain with substances. When it hurts, stop; then re-start. Rest, and start again later. That’s what I call natural cure for what ails many.
Btw, I NEVER smell pot out there, and I like the smell. I don’t smoke bc it makes me tired and hungry, but I’d rather that smell than the ubiquitous odor of cigarettes, that causes pain in my temples, nausea, and sort of a “scent memory” after walking past too many of them. I can smell a cigarette from down the street before I spot the smoker. It’s even worse than the other smells—y’know—what we love to gripe about, and is also, perfectly natural.
Great discussion.

No different than Starbucks honey, just a different ingredient that makes you feel good! And what a coffee war we had in NYC!!! Remember how many small roasters and coffee houses there were!!??…and now it’s mostly Joe’s and Starbucks on the UWS….because every restaurant has an espresso maker or high quality beans. And now it’s time for the CBD companies to come in and let us chose what works best for us! I’ve had no pain, great sleep and feel good since taking CBD oil daily before bed for years. Doesn’t give me stomach aches like NASAID drugs, or walking in my sleep like Ambien, or effect my weight like some antidepressants! So cheers to CBD and may we all be healthier and happier.

Never understood the hate for kratom. Many of the detractors have no problem quaffing hundreds of Tylenol each year–a drug available everywhere and known to be the direct cause of thousands of deaths each year. Kratom on the other hand does not. Not a single fatality is attributable to kratom alone.

What an oddly warped view you have of ‘old people.’ I suggest that you try to better educate yourself because you’re not getting any younger. 😉

My friend, who is now technically a senior, was misdiagnosed with a neurological disease in his 30’s and given pharmaceuticals to treat it for 20+ years. That left him completely debilitated. For approx the past 10 years he’s been using ‘alternative’ treatments that have greatly eased his suffering and given him a relatively normal life.

Myself and many inter generational members of my family have been thankful for the benefits Kratom provides for nearly 10 years now. My mother who nearly died from metastatic cancer two years ago attributes her survival in part to the pain and anxiety relief Kratom provides. Unlike some of the propaganda that’s been generated by two pharmaceutical companies — which after investigation by actual journalists were revealed to be in the process of synthesizing and patenting Mitragyna — not a single person in my family, including myself, had any trouble “quitting” or not taking Kratom for several months to years at a time. Do your own research, just approach it with a good faith mindset and be open to opinions that don’t conform to your own and you’ll find that Kratom is overwhelmingly a positive natural substance to have in our arsenal, and has likely saved countless lives.

At minimum CBD has to be regulated. There are only anecdotal accounts of its efficacy as a pain reliever. Most food sold today consumed has to meet minimum government standards. Organic products are not the exception. Labeling providing nutritional value, ingredients and warnings are necessary. Questions about quality and potency need to be addressed. Will minors be allowed to purchase without parental consent? We’ve seen with monitoring what has happened with the J&J vaccine, where a very tiny number had adverse effects. You can also overdose on aspirin or some vitamins which are usually safe and regulated. There are a lot of questions that need to be answered about CBD and legalized Marijuana.
