What can you tell me about /kratom/?
Is it worth it?
Pic unrelated
it's a mildly stimulating opiate like high with less addictive potential. typical trade offs like nausea and constipation.
are you tryna take it to relax or to pain management? for pain management, icy hot and aspirin. for relaxation, xanax (or kava) and some red wine.

>take a highly addictive benzo instead
Not sure how that's an improvement

occasional use probably isn't a big deal, habitual use messed up my appetite and gave me some pretty long term gastrointestinal issues, took about 6 months for those to return to normal after 2-3 months of habitual use.

I'd take it for pain management. Currently I'm taking tramadol but my prescription is finishing and now I don't have access to another one. Also if I can avoid taking it it's better

Its not, xanax is literally worse than heroin.
I use it daily, more than I probably should.
It gives a range of mild benefits
>energy
>more social confidence/less anxiety
>feels good
But yeah, if I take it for too long without a break I get constipated.
Also when I first started taking it, I would toss and wash the powder without even swilling in my mouth, so basically swallowing it dry chased by water. It must have caused some kind of blockage in my gall bladder because I started getting debilitating, agonizing stomach pains after eating anything fatty. To the point I ended up taking myself to A+E thinking something was seriously wrong (they gave me some strong painkillers which was worth it) But yeah, make sure to really mix it before swallowing.

So how do you take it now?
I just found out about Kratom yesterday. Guys from my headshop suggest adding cayenne pepper and tumeric for increased absorption. Frankly it sounds downright disgusting, even if the effects are as great as people say they are.

for me, its great stuff. it helped me kick a pretty nasty heroin/fentanyl habit i have never been able to kick without being institutionalized. i take it first thing in the am, sometimes in mid afternoon before gym, and before bed. i havent thought about heroin in 3 months, and i have made progress in the gym during this time (some say kratom can kill gainz, i disagree)
if u dont have a drug problem, it mostly just feels good. it gives me something to look forward to at the end of the day to relax, the way some pepo look at beer or glass of wine.
i would recommend, but do not buy from a headshop, way overpriced! go on reddits kratom forum or something and pick a shop to order from that people rate. it will take a few days to get to you but its way worth it (dozens if not a hundred times cheaper)
