我们研究了Kratom（Mitragyna sp.）的使用，一种具有μ-阿片类激动剂活性的膳食补充剂，由网络社区的成员使用互联网药店的阿片类镇痛剂自我治疗慢性疼痛。在一年内，在Drugbuyers.com上提及的数量增加，促进阿片类镇痛药的在线购买的网站，建议成员开始管理阿片类药物戒断与Kratom.这项研究表明，精神活性物质的信息通过在线社区传播的速度，并表明在线监测可能是重要的生成有效的阿片类镇痛剂滥用预防战略。
We examined the use of Kratom ( Mitragyna sp.), a dietary supplement with mu- opioid agonist activity, by members of a cybercommunity who self- treat chronic pain with opioid analgesics from Internet pharmacies. Within one year, an increase in the number of mentions on Drugbuyers.com, a Web site that facilitates the online purchase of opioid analgesics, suggested that members began managing opioid withdrawal with Kratom. This study demonstrates the rapidity with which information on psychoactive substances disseminates through online communities and suggests that online surveillance may be important to the generation of effective opioid analgesic abuse prevention strategies.
