Ohio Mom's Morning Struggle Took a Shocking Turn After Trying a "Natural Energy Drink"

 Exhausted and desperate for an energy boost, Ohio mom-of-two Kim Maloney turned to what she thought was a harmless solution — a small blue bottle that looked just like a 5-Hour Energy shot. Recommended by someone she trusted and sold at a local CBD shop, the drink promised natural relief. But what Kim didn’t realize was that the so-called "tonic" contained kratom, a powerful and controversial herbal substance. What started as a simple morning pick-me-up quickly turned into a wake-up call she never saw coming.
