The only reason it is on the DEA’s radar is because head shops and stores around the country started selling it and claiming it will get you high.
I started taking it a few months ago and read some stuff that made me laugh. That it causes hallucinations and an opiate like high. LOL!
I have seen so many get off opiates and the crap the doctors give you to get you off the drugs they gave you in the first place. I know someone that got off heroin and methadone with kratom. I took a 3 day break from it and had no withdrawal. My pain did return though. It was gone in 20 minutes after I took 1 1/2 teaspoons this morning.
