Black market opiate & opioid users need to get off the danger train and start taking kratom. It may not get you quite as 'high', but it can stave off cravings and withdrawal symptoms, and help you find stability. Harm reduction is a viable solution.

- CharlesW 4y agoReputable sources seem to indicate that "nature's opioid" may be more of a sidegrade. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health/in-depth/kratom/art-20402171 https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/consumer-health... "In a study testing kratom as a treatment for symptoms of opioid withdrawal, people who took kratom for more than six months reported withdrawal symptoms similar to those that occur after opioid use. Too, people who use kratom may begin craving it and require treatments given for opioid addiction, such as naloxone (Narcan) and buprenorphine (Buprenex)."
