here is what I remember.
Kratom works magic in many, others not so good. A level teaspoon can remove 100% of all pain in some people. It does not work on people who drink alcohol as alcohol kills the medicinal properties. If you want to wipe it our of your system, drink a shot of bourbon. It also delivers a form of "motivation" in some encouraging to get to work. It can make people constipated if they eat meats, pasta, dairy so 200mg magnesium should be taken 1/2 hr before. Better than anything the pharmacy had to offer. I used the red strains. its great to have on hand in prep supplies. Illegal in several states that have opium or Hydro issues. I was mixing it in a shot of iced tea as it comes from tea / coffee family. There are over eight alkaloids, and some scientists cannot figure out how it works. Can be addicting to some. When quitting, taper off to reduce hangover feeling. Can be used to help drug or alcohol users taper off drinking and drugs. it can keep some people up at night, it can help some to sleep. Different for all. It is mostly a muscle relaxer. It can tax liver / kidneys for people with issues. Chase with a full glass of water. That was what I learned. Dont need it anymore. I was in a wreck years ago, kratom saved the day and shocked my doctors to boot. I did PT in months / out instead of year +. Just dont abuse Baby spoons (PS - Vietnamese soldiers used it. It gave them motivation, resistance to pain, curbed appetite.)
