    I have two friends who are addicted to this stuff
    As you know , the withdrawal is significant
    Now lets look at the fact that this stuff has been around for a long time and has never been turned into a pharmaceutical. I wonder why?
    There could be some real downsides here that wont present themselves for years
    Most herbal supplements are safe because they dont do anything, this stuff for sure does something

    I would never recommend it to anyone that's for sure.

    So far so good, never heard anything back so I guess everything is good. stopped taking it just to be 100% sure nothing will ever happen though.

    I started taking kratom after surgery when I had been taking opiates. The effects were usually felt 10-20 minutes after taking it and in general the first two to three hours after taking the dose are very pleasant. It doesn't necessarily intoxicate you, but there`s a noticeable difference in your overall behavior. I found an article I think that's all you need to know. One more thing - Kratom must be swallowed, as it can`t be smoked or taken by any other method than oral.
