Kratom for thought (George W, Bush digs it)

It may be a little old to be considered news, but we uncovered this photograph of George W. Bush planting a kratom tree with the Incumbent Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel. The image appears to have been taken in 2008, but little public record exists of the trip.

What is known is that Merkel’s government has been slowly squeezing off imports of kratom into Germany, often holding, destroying, or seizing packages belonging to citizens with serious pain conditions.

Bush visited Merkel in Germany at least two times while he was president. It is impossible to say, based on the scant information available in English, if he and Merkel knew it was kratom specifically that they were planting, or if they were just planting a tree for a photo op.

The image appears to be taken in an open field or park space. It could be a groundbreaking for botanical gardens
