Collaboration between the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague (VŠCHT) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NUDZ) on a study focusing on users of kratom and the analogue HHC. NUDZ will recruit 40 volunteers, collect blood, saliva and urine samples, and carry out psychometric tests and laboratory analyses following the consumption of a standard dose of kratom or HHC. The samples and test results will be pseudonymised and handed over to the University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague for further toxicological evaluation.
