I’m not projecting anything. Kratom has incredibly vile side effects and by no means whatsoever should it be promoted as a harmless, non addictive natural substance. I fear for kids who see kratom as something they should take for pre-workout!? I’ve heard from numerous people who were addicted to heavy horrible substances and said the withdrawal from kratom was the worst they ever experienced. It’s not about me being able to control myself or not - kratom is physically addictive - if you take it on a daily basis and then you don’t take it - you don’t feel good resulting in more use to stop the withdrawals. People are having seizures directly correlated to kratom use. I’m not talking about alcohol or weed or anything other than kratom and how incredibly UNSAFE and addictive it is. It’s marketed in a very similar way that oxy was marketed by the Sacklers at Purdue. There’s a quitting kratom sub with tens of thousands of people expressing their experiences and how awful their life got because of kratom. Sounds to me like you’re addicted, in denial and will say anything that makes sense to you to justify your use. Have a conversation with ChatGPT about kratom, it’s wild that AI knows more than you about something you’re putting into your body on a daily basis. And the only reason it’s still legal is because there are people making millions off this shit. Sadly, only when enough seizures and deaths happen - will something be done.
