Someone told me yesterday that he takes kratom for his chronic hip pain and he says it really works. My question is this would it be safe for my ole grumpy father to take it who's on a bunch of different medications. He's got bad arthritis in his hands. He likes to drink but would this get him high which he would not like? I've seen a gas station or two with a kratom sign on the door but is there a more legit place to purchase it?

I can drive on it, its not like pain pills. More like a relaxing head change. Also it depends on dose. I would start small. The energy is like a good cup of coffee. So imagine a little pep with a bit of warm fuzziness.

Also different strains give different energy and buzz. So it helps to experiment with types of Kratom as well.

My wife got her father to use it, and it has HELPED him a lot.

Also not even close to as strong as pills. So no you wont be dope fiend leaning or anything.

My wife isnt up yet. Give me a bit and I can get more info for you. Like which strain is the best etc,

it's worth it to note that it is dose-dependent. Energy increase at the lower doses, but a super relaxant at higher doses.

it has been used for addiction recovery, interestingly
