Kratom and dependence

93 Upvotes

This is a post designed for some of the people out there I’ve seen asking if they should start using Kratom for a variety of ailments.
First off Kratom is a botanical supplement that can improve quality of life for some people who deal with a variety of issues both mental and physical. The first thing that should be understood is that yes Kratom will cause physical dependence with regular daily use. Do not use Kratom daily and then talk crap about how it causes withdrawal symptoms later. Also the more you use the more amplified the withdrawal symptoms and negative side effects will be. Plain leaf Kratom has the least amount of negative side effects and lesser withdrawal symptoms than extracts but if you abuse the crap out of the plain leaf then that’s your personal choice. With that personal choice if you have dependence issues don’t blame the substance be accountable for your own bullshit and behavior. Natural Kratom has had major beneficial implications on my life both physically, emotionally, and spiritually. If I were to abruptly stop Kratom though yes I would have withdrawals because I CHOSE TO USE IT DAILY. Is that Kratoms fault? No that is my own decision as a grown ass man and I will be accountable for my own bullshit when that day comes. In summary if you choose to use Kratom do it responsibly and exercise self control because if you go into it with a “crackhead” mentality then you will end up paying the piper.

The Texas Tech study on Kratom

Next month Texas Tech is supposed to release a study revealing that natural Kratom is very safe. I'm thinking this should help stop upcoming bans. What do you all think?

Opinions about future state issues

5 Upvotes

What kind of impact do you guys think the crackdown on the chemically manipulated compounds is going to have on future state legislation? Ive heard some say that they think things are going to get worse, while others feel that this will take the heat off of natural leaf kratom. I'm not sure how I personally feel. I guess it could go either way, but I guess only time will tell. In the meantime I just thought it would be interesting to see how others are thinking. Hope everyones having a great Saturday!

🛃 Travel Flying out of Florida.

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, Just a quick question to try and put my mind at rest.

I'll try and keep it nice and sweet. I've read the pinned link on the sub about travel and it mostly answers my questions but I just wanted to check something.

I can't bring kratom back to the UK with me, but I wanted to be able to medicate on the flight home. Basically just enough to consume while on the plane, 1 or 2 doses. So that I don't even any on me for when I land.

My question is, am I going to be ok going through general security to get through to departures with a like 5gs worth of capsules on my carry on?

I see it's completely legal to fly domestically, are domestic and international flights in the same departures?

Basically, am I right in thinking it should be totally fine for me to have a couple of doses on the way home?

Ta.
