Kratom 101

[Johnson]

Any one take this stuff and/or know of its benefits?


I’m watching the documentary “A Leaf of Faith” by chris bell(christ, he’s gone from doing bigger, faster, stronger to looking like a 60yo cancer victim, poor guy) and they’re all about this kratom stuff. Ironically they sell it in smoke shops next to cigarettes because, yeah, fuck it. But yeah, he’s all up doing the Joe Rogan show and they’re both fucking retarded( derp, kratom has zero abuse and no deaths from the use of, kind of like weed. Yep. Weed. So clean to smoke that no one scrapes the resin to smoke it from their bowl. Fuck it, rasheed wallace, bitches!)

Anyway.

So does anyone use the stuff? What’s it like? Stronger advil? Less addictive oxycodone? Tell us your story.

I tried it, it felt good.

Would recommend.

You can get addicted to it, but it's more like caffeine than crack addiction.

 

[yamahacrasher]

Never heard of it, never tried it. But based solely on the single above review by @Midnighter, I will be ingesting some asap.

 

[Sycho Sid]

My old pothead roomie tried it a few times, always made him sick.

As a former user of both, Caffeine is way more addictive than crack. I get what you’re saying, but, yeah.

[TheRuthlessOne]

I never done it but the high is supposed to be like opioids

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Is resin dirty or dangerous? I don’t get what you are trying to say about it

I've never drank 5 cups of coffee then really wanted another one lol

Oh. People act like weed is a wonder drug that is super beneficial and super good for you but the resin you scrape to smoke from your bowl also goes into your lungs. I ain’t gonna get into a debate about it, but yeah, it happens and toke up.

I used to take caffeine pills with monster and I quit caffeine cold turkey and was good after like a week.

I don't believe you.

Crack tastes better than any coffee.

Anyone who has smoked some rock knows of the taste, it’s what draws you back. Crack tastes fucking good.

 

[Midnighter]

If you use too much at once you can get nauseous.

But you have to use way more than you need to get "high" for that to happen.

Get headaches?

I got put into the hospital one time and so had no caffeine. I got mad headaches, pissed myself, then my roommate stole my pants. It was weird.

Yeah, seemed to be his issue. It was either nothing, or sick.

Yup headaches and irritable.

I beat a benzo addiction though, so maybe that's why it felt like nothing in comparison.

 

[Midnighter]

Some strains don't work for certain people for some reason.

Yeh, that nauseating chemical taste becomes palatable real quick.

Anyway.

This documentary is really interesting. Chris Bell is actually a really good doc director(bigger, faster, stronger is probably the best non-bias steroid documnetary i’ve seen.)

Spoiler

his older brother dying is really eye opening from a spectator’s POV.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

Pretty sure Chris Bell is/was going through a pretty terrible opiate addiction himself. Probably sees Kratom as a lesser evil than oxys though.

I have read a lot of bad things about Kratom how it isn’t nearly as safe as it’s made out to be, how people have terrible withdrawals and addictions to the stuff. You don’t want to fuck with your painkilling part of your brain man
