I've used it as a weaning off of opiates substance and for that purpose it was incredible.

Kratom is crap. The buzz is similar to alcohol but you need to consume too much to get anywhere near a "good" buzz. It's gross, headaches, blurry vision, hangover, reduced libido, addictive, and many more potential side effects. You might as well just drink alcohol. Some people swear by it... Not me.

All the info you need is here. Including experiences from other users. https://erowid.org/plants/kratom/kratom.shtml

It tastes terrible, you have to eat quite a lot to feel the effects, and the effects are ok I guess. I remember feeling euphoria for about 2 hours while I was taking it so it does work but it just depends how much you enjoy eating nasty dry green powders to feel better.

I eat 2-3 gram doses. Take it in morning for pain relief and to combat my adhd. Works wonders

I have a large bridge to sell you if interested?.

In all seriousness, no I haven't but a quick read up really wouldn't draw me into trying it either.

Retarded. No, I have not but my brother did and said it was horrific.

I’ve been using the stuff for about three years now every day. It started from an injury that I had, and I used it in place of opiates. It gives you a really pleasant warm, calm, feeling like opiates does. It’s much weaker than opiates are, but at the same time it’s not like one of those substances where you have to guess if you feel anything. You’ll definitely know. I still use it because I box and weight train and it helps keep the pain down but I probably don’t really need it anymore. I’ve reduced the amount that I take daily drastically, but it definitely is an addictive substance. If I don’t take it in the morning I get minor cold chills and just feel shitty. it took me a while to get to this point— at least a year until I had any kind of withdrawal. It’s really not that bad. If I wanted to I could just tough it out and get over it.

Some people have reported having hair loss, or that it hurts your kidneys, but I haven’t had any issues at all. I do drink a lot of water which probably helps. Kratom is a diuretic and a dehydrates you so you’ve got to stay hydrated.

If you’re just gonna use it here and there it’s a nice substance, but just take a little bit of caution if you’re going to be taking a long-term because of potential dependency

I got hooked on kraton for a while thinking it was harmless... it gave me energy and helped me to be social for a while. But then it made me angry and took away all my energy. When I kicked it, I had cold sweats and a looming feeling of hopelessness.

I'm sure it helps some people, but I had problems with it.

The Vietnamese chew on Kratom Leaves like chewing tobacco to handle long hour workdays. Great for getting off opiates if that's your trouble.. Wouldn't reccomend otherwise.

Drink the red tea every day. Better pain management than opiates. I was in a car accident, serious nerve damage in my back. 3 epidurals, a nerve ablation, still in pain. Did some research about alternatives to opiates, and Kratom came up. Dug deeper and saw there is a ton of research from eastern medicine using Kratom for pain relief. I was hooked on Roxicet for 10 years, and didn’t want to get back on that fucking horrible ride. It’s been a year and a half, I’m good. I use the extracts as well, which is a concentrate. If I didn’t use red Kratom, I would be back to calling my old dealer, spending $1,000 a week on something that could be fentanyl. I’ll take the shitty tasting tea over going back to my version of a living hell. It’s the fucktards who read something online and think they’re an expert. To them, take a step back and fuck your own face.
