saw it on Amazon and wanted to see if the reports were true...bought one ounce from someone named bouncing bear botanicals in 2012 for $12.99...it honestly helped me regain control of my life.

Damn they used to sell kratom on amazon? That's wild.

I heard about it in the 2000s but thought it was only for opiate users. I never looked it up. I saw some at the local smoke shop and they said they weren't allowed to answer questions about it so I did a lot of research. I have chronic back pain, agoraphobia, adhd, major depressive disorder, and anxiety. I tried some from the smoke shop and it was good but $25 an ounce. I tried an online vendor and it's been smooth sailing ever since. The quality of my life has went up exponentially.

That much is true! I never seen it in any smoke shops here and I'd be pretty hesitant to try it from one though since I question the quality that comes out of almost anything they have to offer. It really is its own animal in how it feels, it's not just a lite version of anything else either. It keeps me afloat through the weekly challenges very easily and hasn't ever stopped doing its thing either and I been keeping it steady for a long time with it. Tolerance isn't really an issue for me either, it does have a nice ceiling effect to it around 10 grams a day and I only take more as needed but I usually don't need to most days. Lasts a long time too and I don't need to buy more all that often.

When I read that the FDA  was going to schedule it, I tries some from  eBay.  YEP  some capsules  &  when from there  in 2016.    It was  nice,    not like  tram  or other sales from street  vendors    I am not a fan of  cannabis &  not  out to be a  veg on the sofa  all   day  & night

For chronic pain, chronic fatigue and anxiety/adhd and depression. Been a daily user for 9 years and has also kept me clean off of all pharmaceuticals and hard substances

 

 

 

 

 

Truthfully, it was pandemic confinement that made me curious. It really helps me with anxiety and irritability. I prefer it to marijuana which can make me nervous and binge level hungry

It was going to be put on  the Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act by the FDA  in Aug  2o16.  I bought my first from ebay  & went on from there.    I  enjoy adding to my morning  coffee   it helps my energy  &  I truly believe it  strengthens  my immune system,  I have  NOT been ill or sick for years.

I use it for energy and to help mellow my mood, usually have high anxiety for years i used alcohol to mask it but kratom has helped alot and dont have the usual bad effect that alcohol tend to cause

To attempt to stop taking opiates, it's a struggle for sure, I also used to drink everyday, so it's helped me not drink, havent drank in over 3 or so years
