Don’t try it unless you’re already hooked on something stronger or have godlike self-control. The problem with it is two-fold: effect strenght and availability. Honestly even codeine is a better “try and forget” option if you’re that curious, bc of these 2 reasons. Way weaker, annoying to extract, pretty low ceiling dose regardless of it’s form.

But honestly just stay the fuck away from opiates, there’s so much more shit that’s not gonna ruin you like they can.

Is Kratom an opioid? I’ve never had any plans to even consider it, but I had no idea it was one. Those issues you described though make a lot of sense on how he got hooked. He’s never had good self control and it’s easily available where I am

  According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse: while Kratom isn’t an opioid, it can cause “opioid-like” and “stimulant-like” effects in the brain by activating “mu-opioid receptors”
