I've been a poppy tea user. Got addicted physically then quit, I went 122 days clean, didn't look back... and then randomly picked up the habit again a few days ago.
I'm interested in maybe replacing the habit with kratom.
My questions:
- is it easy to grow the plant myself? Growing poppies is easy, hell I found some as weeds around where I live. Is Kratom the same? How hard is it to grow?
- what form is it supposed to come in, if i'm not growing it myself? a powder?
- I live in the UK and have had no issues finding poppy pods/seeds online, it seems the government doesnt give a shit about regulating them. However, are kratom sources equally safe? Can I expect to get arrested if I am found to be buying kratom?
thank you for reading!
Edit:
Thank you everyone who responded. I ended up buying kratom soon after making this post, it wasn't hard to find a vendor online. It works fantastically for my chronic pain issues, better than anything else I've ever used, which is why I started taking opiates in the first place, so this a great win!
The poppy tea habit stuck around because kratom doesn't seem to provide much of a mood boost, however I have only tried 1 strain so far- the red maeng da. Having it as an option has been very useful though, it's kept my poppy tolerance from raising much this past month, as now I'm mostly using poppies for solely the emotional benefit instead of mood helper + painkiller in one. It also doesn't make me any more energetic, but that may have to do with the fact that I have ADHD and I'm on methylphenidate for it, or it may have to do with me needing to experiment more with the strains. idk.
Either way, thank you for answering my questions and I'm glad to see people are using the post for further discussion.
