Your first paragraph I completely agree, Kratom is promising to be safer than the leading opiate substitution medicines (ie methadone)
But
> it has no value as a recreational drug.
is completely wrong. See the erowid page [1].
Some of the positive effects (Simultaneous stimulation & sedation, Feelings of euphoria, Useful with physical labor,
Low doses can result in a lasting "glow" in some people, increases sociability and talkativeness) have high recreational value. Personally I find it great as an alternative to harsher stimulants for getting a lot of work done.

- nikcub 10y agoYou're right - it's not "no value" it is "little value" - altho of the people I know who have used kratom to get off stronger painkillers all referred to a natural tapering effect that kratom has where you don't want to keep taking it outside of withdrawal Seems that for some people the downsides of kratom outweigh the positives outside of treating withdrawal.
