Kratom doesn't make you nod out though - it's actually the oposite, unless you take huge doses.
It gives you energy, it's great for productivity.
As long as you don't overdo it of course, but that's true for any psychoactive substances.
Edit: wanna add, if we're talking medical, agreed, mdma is more important. If recreational, not so sure
There's different kinds. I took a strain that helped me sleep too. But that stuff is pretty nasty tasting and you need to take a shit ton to get a strong effect, when I took it it was a pretty mild effect since I didn't try to take a ton. I think it'd be easier to abuse NyQuil.
Try it with orange juice, makes it go down much easier
Crystal Light lemonade works just as well, maybe better. Unless you want all that sugar.
That's fair, I'm actually an addict so the idea of taking anything not in huge doses is foreign to me, that's why I had to go to rehab lol
Heard ppl actually use kratom to taper off of other opioids. It acts on the same receptors mostly afaik, but has the nice feature of being limited by an enzyme you've got in your gut somewhere, so it's hard to overdose.
Yeah, I've heard the same, ofc it's anecdotal but most of the people I know that have done that still wound up using heroin again but yes it's definitely a plus
As far as drugs go kratom is super mild though. I think off the shelf NyQuil is way stronger. No offense, and hope you're managing it, but you being easily addicted is more a you problem than something that laws should be shaped around.
