    Oliver isn’t right on everything, and kratom is one of those things. It’s a valuable tool to substitute opiates for, to kick truly dangerous drugs now laced with fentanyl.

    I did kratom for over a decade, just quit actually, which sucked, quitting opiates is a lot worse though.

    It’s a plant, it’s safe to use, and despite being addictive, is pretty mild. People have every right to use it, and some sleazy gas station suppliers shouldn’t cancel our freedom to use plants.

      This might be too European for you, but In Europe, we have something called clinics. If you want to quit a drug, you go there and they help you, if you need by giving you substitutes.

      You’re right with Kratom

      7-OH (and some similar Kratom derivates) are a complete different beast though
      I’m afraid Kratom will get thrown under the bus as well, as it is really helpful for opiate withdrawal…
