While kratom is not categorized as an opioid, like heroin and morphine, it can produce opioid-like effects in users, such as relaxation and pain relief. The leaves contain two major psychoactive ingredients, mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine (7-OH), that attach to the same parts of the brain as opioids, called mu-opioid receptors.
