I had a huge problem with pain pills for a few years and kratom got me off it. The effort to get it banned and treated like heroin infuriates me. This plant is a miracle for anyone wanting to recover from opiate addiction.
Yes it can be an addictive as well but it is no way comparable to the big pharma drugs. Not even close. I personally think big pharma is behind this effort because it is so effective at treating opiate addiction.
