While weed is addictive, it isn't a particularly dangerous addiction, or dangerous drug.
Kratom is highly addictive, can cause very significant damage with abuse, and is rarely but potentially fatal, especially in combination with other drugs. It really shouldn't be as easily available as it is :/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

A lot of it is just fear mongering, it's done amazing things for people recovering from heroin addiction and alcoholism. It's becoming more legal, even in states like TN, because it's incredibly mild and is beneficial to those recovering from addiction.
It's literally legal in Tennessee, if that doesn't tell you something, idk what else to offer. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain. Vicious_Dios Original - https://i.imgtc.ws/Zl0aw6F.png ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's literally not. It's not super dangerous, but abuse causes a lot of damage.I mean this in the most respectful way possible, but that shows how incredibly uneducated you are on Kratom. It's pretty much it's primary function, and why a lot of people use it. You also mentioned "recreationally" but you get little to no high whatsoever, even in very large doses. No one really takes it for fun, because it doesn't do very much as a mind or body high at all. At best, it's the equivalent of a mouthful of beer on an empty stomach. --- Ten million dollars on a losing campaign, Twenty million starving and writhing in pain.

"Experts say -- and conversations online show -- that one of the most talked about methods is using kratom, a little-known herb made from the leaves of a tree that grows on the other side of the world. A recent survey found that nearly 70% of people using kratom were doing so to cut back on or get off of opioids or heroin."

At all. MAT doesn't include Kratom. Hell, we're far more likely to kick you out for Kratom than to ever use it for treatment. M_Live posted... Before I got my gallbladder removed I tried Kratom for pain management. Idk how well it worked or if it was just placebo, but I feel like it helped a bit with flair ups, until the point where nothing helped I've heard such mixed things about Kratom but at least for me personally, nothing bad happened. Yeah like I said occasional recreational use isn't my concern, it's the uneducated people who think it's OK for regular use. It probably did help with pain though, not just a placebo.

I'm just gonna step away, it's something you should really read up on before stirring up a topic like this. I mean, it's literally an opiate. So yes, you can replace one opiate addiction with another one. I fear it being an easy legal path to opiate addiction, similar to pain pills. --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm just gonna step away, it's something you should really read up on before stirring up a topic like this. I literally work in addiction therapy. And I'm not saying anything unreasonable. Kratom is a decent enough recreational drug that is potentially significantly harmful if abused being sold with minimal regulation and treated as harmless,and should be treated on a similar level to alcohol. ...

not sure why you would single it out over any other drug I single out Kratom because there are a lot of people uneducated about it, saying things like "it's helpful for getting off opiates". Lack of regulation and lack of education could easily combine to make what would otherwise be a perfectly fine occasional drug into something actually dangerous. Hairistotle posted... Careful TC, mods take down kratom topics and then ignore you when you ask why. They know by know it's not federally illegal I mean, it wouldn't even be the first non-violation I've had this week, lol ... Copied to Clipboard!
