Kratom Health benefits of your illegal drugs

[Syntherize]

Pain makes you do anything to make it better.

I have some spine issues aswell, luckily ive learned to manage it mostly with training and a overall strict routine.
Although opiates or kratom makes everything alot easier for awhile.

Im sober atm from everything except thc, but used opiates and kratom in the past for periods.

The longest daily habit i had was about a year of kratom at one point.
Mostly kept myself at 10g per day with a few per week of higher doses.

Ive learned quickly to rotate strains and shops and not chase the buzz.
If i could keep my doses somewhat low a few days then i could treat myself to a day with more etc.

Look into professor Stuart Mcgill, he is the world leader in rehabing serious spine injuries.
He has a ton of material to help you manage.

Three herniated disks, an AC joint injury, an ankle that got hurt three times in a row, and a fractured thumb/wrist from when I was a teenager is what I’m dealing with daily smh. I feel your pain. Godspeed

I feel like opioids kinda slow the physical signs of aging? I've met so many heroin or rx opioid addicts in their 40s who looked late 20s. I'm fucking old now (tured 36 this week) and I don't even have the very beginnings of any visible aging, not even fine lines around my eyes or anything. I got ID'd today buying fucking cigarettes (TBF while you have to only be 18 to buy them, they are supposed to ask for ID if they think you look under 25, but still).

Sorry to hear that! Two herniated discs (disks? when is it which?) and three spinal fractures that didn't heal right [I did all of this along with 6 broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, a fractured orbital socket and a broken wrist all from ONE seizure].

^Felt so panicked in the immediacy after. Anyone read Pet Sematary by Stephen King, or at least seen the '89 movie? I read that book probably too young when I was 10 or 11 and while the main story didn't bother me at all, the "Zelda" scenes freaked me TF out.

The effects haven't aged GREAT, but (and it's way worse in the book):

I just turned 40 lol and I agree with you on that main point. Meth ages people while opioids act as preservatives hehe. Happy belated bday!

P.S. The only obvious signs of aging that I currently have is gray hairs that give me that salt and pepper look since my hair is naturally jet black but I’m not interested in dying it at all.

It would be interesting to have statistics on how many times a meth addict's heart beats in a year compared to an opioid addict. That's a big difference in wear and tear right there. And how about the difference in total hours of sleep?

When I was sectioned due to amphetamine psychosis from taking large doses several times a day for months, the doctor examining me physcially DID ask if I'd had a heart attack recently.

Pain makes you do anything to make it better.

Especially unresolved pain when nobody is doing anything to help you. There are all kinds of pain. You never really appreciate how part of your body can hurt so bad until it does.

Haha, I know a couple of other opiate users who look younger than they really are. Maybe opiates make people take their time and spend more time on their skin care regime...

I can totally agree that meth abuse ages people but does meth use? I think they are two very distinct things and while use is high risk it doesn't necessarily lead to abuse. Abusing any drug will age someone, they stop looking after themselves, prioritise drugs over eating and sleeping. The problem with meth is it keeps people going when really they should just keep over and collapse with exhaustion. Also free radical release from excessive dopamine damages neurones and nervous tissue. I've read this can be mitigated to a degree by an appropriate supplement regime. And eating and sleeping. But above all, keeping the doses reasonable.

Just some thoughts.
