I registered to this forum just because of this thread because I wanted to say please give Kratom a try ESPECIALLY if you haven't tried H. Mitragynine is a very, very, very powerful substance and it IS an opioid and binds to the same receptors as classic opiates (opiates are derived from the poppy, opioids do not have to be). People say kratom is weak because they do not prepare it correctly. Its like people saying coca leafs are weak while they're expecting a coke high. There are very small amounts of mitragynine per leaf. If you prepare kratom right..that means no weak ass teas, but making or buying powerful extracts like "250x" and "full spectrum extracts", "UEI", "SEK", 7-Acetoxy or Hydroxymitragynine isolates that can be dried for insufflation, you can have a legal product that is equally as powerful as insufflated oxy and H.
I do not reccommend buying these extracts regularly because you can make crude ones that will do the job just as well for far far less of a price. The only thing you will not get is the rush of IV H, but not many of my friends have come back from their addictions to that rush. I have heard of people IVing mitragynine isolates recieving full effects but with no rush. You can prepare extremely potent kratom extractions by using regular drinkable ethanol (even a low grade vodkas) and crushed leaves by simply microwaving a large kratom/alcohol dose in a glass and reducing it down to a small amount of resinous liquid if needed.
Teas are not effective for nodding because if you look at the properties of mitragynine, it isn't even fully soluble in water, its somehwat hydrophillic and that accounts for the effects achieved (it also accounts for the crappy weak effects people get from it, and those people write it off as another stupid legal herb that doesn't work) plus you have to drink horribly bitter, swampy ass shit to get high. Use drinking alcohol and keep finding other ways to work with the plant.
Best thing is that its legal in my country, check for the legality of this substance in yours. Kratom is hands down the best replacement for opiates because the withdrawal from kratom although kind of bad, is FAR less intense if you do get carried away and IS tolerable compared to the hell on earth opiate withdrawal, plus the effects hang right there with the big boys of opiates. Also to whomever is reading this, try to keep Kratom on a hush, like keeping it off of forums with little kids that have just started smoking weed or something..I'm sure it will be illegal soon, and the only reason I'm posting this information here is to help someone from accidentally slipping into the clutches of H. Try to stay away from H. It is the best and the worst.
