I can't edit my post, but to be clear, kratom itself obviously isn't an opioid, but it contains opioid alkaloids.

  Yep. But the same is more or less true of many pharmaceutical opioid preparations — they may contain paracetamol, binder, or filler in addition to the active opioid compound (e.g., Vicodin). I think it's fair to call the broad category "opioids."

    Absolutely, my updated comment was merely a guard against expected pedantry :)

      Totally reasonable! It seems I was that kind of pedant anyway. I'm sorry. :-)
