It would appear that refined sugar fits this profile more than kratom does.

Sucrose is used widely in medical treatment in the United States.

Use of sucrose under medical supervision is unfathomably safe. You can literally feel, in your hand, the quantity of sucrose which is unsuitable for your diet.

I'm not sure what would qualify as abuse, but I'm pretty sure they don't consider all recreational alcohol use to be abuse even though a pretty large chunk of the people who drink it are alcoholics.
