I always figured potency in grey market herbs like Kratom would probably vary a lot, sort of like grey market chemicals.
Quality control probably fluctuates between vendor a lot and because of the nature of the market (and frequently, intended use) there isn't a lot of good discussion regarding various vendors, standarization and the quality of their product.
I imagine it would be hard for a vendor to invest a great deal of money in standarization when the legality of the herb could change at any time.
