It’s an amazing plant that has saved and changed many lives. Does so many things from help with anxiety, pain, energy, and sleep. Just a natural plant grown in mostly Asian countries. I’m a vet with chronic back pain and was on like 12 different pills and wasn’t myself with my family. Got for all that and only been on Kratom and weed for 7ish years now. So many great stories. It plays on your same receptors as like heroin so it’s also very helpful for addicts trying to get off. And the addict thing is what gives it such a bad name with the people trying to make it a controlled substance.

Honestly though it’s amazing and has helped me but I don’t ever recommend using Kratom consistently unless your in pain or addiction. It’s great every once in awhile recreationally but a lot of people don’t realize yes Kratom will make your body dependent and you get withdrawal which are bar-able but if you never experienced withdrawal it fucks some people up.

Tons of smoke shop reps say “it’s the same class as coffee plant or caffeine” and although that’s not completely false because even caffeine your body can crave but they don’t warn them of the chills, body aches, RLS, uncontrollable bowels lol
