The thing with Kratom is that it's very dose-limiting. It tastes terrible, causes bad nausea, and makes you jittery. So let's say you have a dose of Kratom that you enjoy and you want more. You double it and you either puke it up before it all hits or it makes you so miserable you think twice before taking it again.
The real danger is in the so-called extracts, which distill and purify the active ingredient(s). But regular powdered Kratom is, IMHO, less harmful than marijuana and should be legal.
Interesting historical note about Kratom: it's traditionally used in SE Asia as a productivity drug. Farmers would take it to help them get through long days in the field. Much like how coca is used in the Andes.
- spork12 8y agoYes, the extracts are where you end up eventually. It's true, being high on opioids increases productivity massively while you are high. I remember being able to code 12-18 hours a day, be excited to mow a 2 acre lawn with a push mower, etc. The problem is when you run out of money and are in withdrawal productivity drops to zero, it's hard to even get up to take a pee.
