Earthly Mist, a Tulsa, Oklahoma based retailer of natural healing products, has introduced its first kiosk offering kratom, an herbal extract, in West Siloam Springs next to a Dollar General store. The machine sells kratom 24/7 for $5 an ounce.
While kratom is commonly used for withdrawals from heroin, morphine and other opioid drugs, it is also used to help people with chronic pain from injuries.
Earthly Mist currently offers multiple strains of kratom based on three vein colors: green, red and white, which can be purchased in powder or capsule form.
There’s a one-time set up process to use the kiosk and people must be 18 years of age to buy kratom.
The machine accepts Cash App and Venmo mobile payments as well as cryptocurrency.
