This is total bullshit! I have many friends that are hooked on Kratom! I was hooked on it for 2 years and it was total HELL. The withdrawals were 10x worse than opioids and the shit is twice as expensive. I don't know who in their right mind thinks Kratom is OK because it is "natural" but it is a fucking devil...the ONLY people still pushing it are addicts still hooked on it (and don't give me that "it is OK if you don't abuse it" line, everyone I know that has used it eventually ABUSES IT).

Replacing one drug with another is not a "lifesaver"...look at the studies on what Kratom does to your central nervous system, as well as your stomach lining, liver, kidneys, etc., not to mention it is a "functioning" drug which are the worst kind because they lull you into thinking you are just fine, hell I even thought I was better than normal when on it. The tolerance build is quick too...I went from 4 pills at a time once a day to 12 at a time 3 or 4 times a day within a few weeks. IT IS POISON!

BTW, I am not for outlawing ANY drug; END THE DRUG WAR! BUT DON'T PRETEND ITS NOT BAD FOR YOU AND LEAD PEOPLE ASTRAY! IT IS HELL! STAY AWAY!
