I suggest first and foremost, unless your wanting to go straight back into a world if you anything like me, JUST CAME OUT OF TIME AFTER TIME.. and now im afraid to say that 7-oh YES, is a alkaloid of kratom, but do the research, every single report ive found ONLY SAID "trace amounts of 7oh" meant a tiny fraction amount of it actually even in the herb itself, and that they would indefinitely HAVE TO synthetically make it, as trying to actually EXTRACT it from kratom would not even be logical to dare try due to the faint amount, and the facts of chemistry and the ability to just synthesize it in a lab, slab a funky cool looking logo on it and sell it in headshops, which are now more prevelant then ever. We REALLY now more than ever need to start FULLY doing ALL research on so much a level more than ever, if you want my full opinion. Cuz myself being a life long addict battling opiates, then H from age 17 till 27 when i grad to fent. Overdosed 9 times to really finally realize dying never even was my thing actually.. and i couldnt seem to succeed at STAYING gone, therefore i decided JUST MAYBE that man above really does want me to stick around after all

and THANK GOD i opened my eyes. I CAN now say, i succeeded to not only stay sober this time but furthermore, i kept having to after the fact of abusing pain killing drugs, now sober.. (i feel like it sounds like a typical excuse maybe but its really there..) i have horrible back pain. It REALLY started in high school from being such a stoner and a taller kid i produced a natural stoner "slouch" that the teachers in middle school even fd with me (they were REALLY TRYING TO HELP MY STUBBORN ASS, i only say they fd with me about it, as back then i was such a angry, manic-depressive, suicidal, anxious, a.d.d., ball of young development that i thought back then they were actually picking on me and itd make me rebel far worse of course..) then into my drug years.. i rolled a 01 tahoe that was lifted 6in's from stock and had i think they were 32 or 35in tires, this was many years ago now. Since then something has never really been the same with my back. And to add to the irony, i was dead sober the night of the wreck, and was going 65 mph when a car ran a stop sign, long horrible story. Point is, now years later, i got clean and feel finally like i have some mental clarity that almost nothing in life could drive me back into THAT lifestyle. But im now left with ALOT of pains and very SCARY stuff going on with my body for such a healthy (on the outside) 36 yr old male. And so i explained all this to help everyone understand my still seemingly neverending search for any and all alternatives for pain killers. And i was taking kratom for MANY months, and honestly kinda wish i still was. And the only reason i say it in the fact that im not really too mad, is because lets all be honest here, im a adult (pretty much now at least i think lol) i KNEW what i was gambling, heck i honestly at first myself, call me whatever u want, but i made sure i let SOMEONE know, HEY im trying this for my first time. And then i of course FELT AMAZING and LOVED IT but also immediately recognized, UH-OH!!! THIS ISN'T GOOOOD MAN.... THATS THE HIGH YOU LIKE AND USED TO LOSE YOUR FN LIFE OVER TIME AFTER TIME.. WTF BRO.. BE CAREFUL! so, i KNEW, OH SNAP, THIS STUFFS REAL, AND WORKS FOR SURE SOMEHOW! so i wanted to then know EVERYTHING. and went down the entire internet, youtube, google rabbit-hole of 7-oh, and yes its very real, very much so a ACTUAL OPIATE. Now of course dont quote me to that because im nobody to say nor deem anything, ANYTHING. BUT, i DID the nerve wrecking research, and dont have to even look back on any of it as its burned into my brain from after my very first night i experienced what was what im positive was my first symptom of withdrawal i experienced waking up from due to 7-oh alone, which was spot on same as heroin, but far more faster onsetting, moreso id compare to the withdrawals of fentanyl and possibly even what was my personally worst substance withdrawal ive ever had of all time, and that was when i decided i was going to flat out cold turkey my suboxone strips when i was taking up to 5 8mg entire strips per DAY, sometimes id put 3 at once under my tongue.. fn nuts thinking back on it all.. but i LEARNED ALOT, the hardest ways possible, and im here to tell you, i still myself STILL am currently and unfortunately taking 7-oh, but the main reason i remained to and still do take it rather than just divert to the kratom is complex and for many reasons, mainly is due to the fact that kratom alone was building tolerance for me particularly so quick that even just my normal daily "low dose" was causing me to have dark green stools, with severe constipation. I would take so many friggin capsules (usually anywhere from 4 to even 15 in a single setting, 3 to 4 time PER DAY!) AND not only is that bad on my belly, but was not easy on the wallet really in the end either. And lets be honest, while on one hand, ive got a lifelong best friend that SWEARS by kratom, just takes stool softners along with low doses of her same capsules i was taking( just not NEAR AS MANY as i was taking) and shes remained happy and sober and most of all, the part i most forgot to touch on that kratom also cured me of was CRAVINGS. not only did it seem to at the least somehow trick my brain into thinking it took some low dose type of opiate and would fire my dopamine receptors apparently barely just enough to where id be in extreme back pain, had a family member actively trying to sell me his percocets, and me wanting them instead knowing and thinking itd be best for the pain anyways, bought five of them off him, at three, few hours later, ate the other two, and was just very fn itchy and pissed off that i wasted all that money when i could have got enough kratom to last me all fn week, and went straight back to getting kratom with the very next $25 i earned lol. And happy to say have not since even had the THOUGHT to go get some fn percs. but now back to the 7oh, the ACTUAL FACTS IS THIS, the medical documents on it ALL deem it to be a sythetic OPIOD (if i labeled it a opiate at all i apologize, i STILL get the two words mixed up..) KNOWN TO BE 40 TIMES the strength of MORPHINE. okay, now not gonna lie, when i first read this i felt like i had just discovered every recovering opiate addicts dream/worst nightmare lol, but was at first more-so in the "FUCK YEA" stage and was only thinking stubbornly about my pain, and nothing of the bigger picture, MY HEALTH. and it feels funny and depressing to say, but i used a.i. (deepseek, the free non google version lol) to help me come to the conclusion that my severe stomach cramps and pains im experiencing, and the fact that my body and brain has lately seemed to lose its ability to feel or recognize when it itself is actually hungry, and instead that "hungry" feeling is replaced with a "feeling like im gonna puke while also feeling like someones wringing my guts out like a soaked wet sock" and im not talking like just SOMETIMES, im talking waking up EARLY every morning before sunrise, to gut wrenching pains and cramps DAILY now. And the a.i. helped me best determine that while theres a chance the 7oh could have NOTHING whatsoever to do with what im going through, it made it VERY apparent to me how dangerous and even more how deadly this will all be for me if i dont first eliminate the first easiest thing actually TO ELIMINATE, being the ONLY THING I DID NOT want to, but ALSO.. KNEW id someday sooner hopefully rather than later, have to move on from if i wanted to at all even remotely have a chance at maybe trying to go ahead and give a crap to really live out these remaining years of my life as healthy and happy as possible, while also knowing the facts that i still got alot, ALOT of medical shit wrong with me that im soon gonna have to go face the music for now that im deciding i dont want a early headstone. And for ANYONE new to this stuff, if any of you have suffered also from horrible withdrawals, id HIGHLY SUGGEST TO STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS, and DAMN SURE look at it like... Well.. hate to say it.. but almost like buying a mild version of fentanyl some super low grade fetty mixed into a chewable pill on very low levels, or more like a strong ass suboxone or subutex. Almost as good as methadone but youll end up overdosing before you even really get THAT close to even experiencing anything close to any "nods" or serious euphoria and sedation so dont bother trying. Because thats what was for me was thank god the good part about it. I of course ignorantly instantly wanted to know how high just could these lil new yummy store bought pills get me, and while yea they damn sure got the job done, after pushing that envelope a lil more, then a hour later a lil more, thirty mins later lil more, then all of a sudden i got super fn dizzy, so bad i felt like i was almost fixing to have another seizure, (oh yea, ive also had TWELVE seizures due to only drug detoxing from due to either simply running out of money and drugs, or just trying to cold turkey cuz i was sick of being a addict!) so ive learned how to kinda sense familiar senses and feelings and sensations my body gives me prior to things like that, anyways so when i started experiencing that was when i also started feeling REALLY sick to my stomach off and on. At first it came on steadily where i was able to mentally fight it for around only like prob 5 mins realistically till i projectile puked everything in my stomach, and still my body kept trying to puke. I was at work but work evening shift when most other coworkers are all gone and was THANK GOD able to hide and ride it out rather than go home sick(I LOVE THIS JOB, ID NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FORGIVE MYSELF FOR SUCH IGNORANCE LOL) but i honest to god have a incredibly high tolerance for all opiates and what seems to be all drugs in general honestly from my life long experience. Im not one bit trying to brag, im simply saying it to try to help you understand how im TRYING TO WARN EVERYONE TO STAY THE HECK AWAY if you at all care to stay away from all opiate like substances rather than herbal remedies such as ACTUAL kratom. Cuz if you can handle taking small amounts and stay healthy prob alongside some at least SOME daily stool softners then you should be fine. I think even if your doing 7oh rather than fent or heck even rather than norcos, then your winning and one step ahead of the game in my book! Anything you CAN buy from a store and stay away from having to be "doctor perscribed" or dealer acquired, then BY ALL MEANS STOCK THE F UP ON THAT STUFF, cuz the f.d.a. might ACTUALLY... EVENTUALLY... someday ban it. Lol i say it like i assume its gonna be awhiiiilllle before they do, because they yea ACKNOWLEDGE that they should, but they ALSO have been acknowledging they should finally legalize psychedelics yet im in a legal weed state and STILL CANNOT go into a store and buy any friggin shrooms, yet i can legally buy a entire syringe full of whatever strain of cubensis i want and have it legally shipped to my home, and EVEN legally grow it if only the grown spores never leave this home, so my point is that if they were really going to take it off the shelves, id have expected to start seeing some example states by now, yet no word seems to appear online of it ACTUALLY happening. Im sure there is already many "higher ups" with their pockets already deeply invested into this new, good yet also bad market. Cuz on the one hand it allows us struggling addicts and ppl with chronic pain a way to FINALLY SAY F THE INDUSTRIES and just go solo and buy it in whatever local smoke shop we chose. But on the other hand, it's also being misrepresented in the aspect of the fact, i myself get a 8 pack of tablets that are each 18mgs a pc, and for even me those lil frs are pretty decent! Yet one day i didnt have my normal 24 for the 8 pack, and instead got a cheaper pack that actually was 2 pills but a total of 100mgs, me like a idiot not really thinking back on how many milligrams at a time LOWER i was taking with the 8 pack of 18mgs per, i took a whole one and that was the second day im pretty sure i came really close to overdosing on them, and got so sick i had to puke several times and felt like i was dying damn near, and these were CHEAPER, WAAAAAY MORE POTENT, but far more dangerous cuz i damn sure dont wanna fn break ANY pill down into 1/4's for f-sake, let alone a CHEWABLE! and the fact most of all scariest, that KIDS WHO HAVE NO FN CLUE AT ALL WHAT THEY ARE GETTING, have the ability to buy these, most places dont really even ever check i.d. in fact, i think i even read somewhere online that these smoke shop vendors are currently not even legally obligated to check ages at all, as its still so much of a new and unknown thing to the government and world as a whole that its still apparently supposedly if im remebering correct, isnt required to have any age limits. Now that the fda has ACKNOWLEDGED 7oh and the fact it's a potentially dangerous deadly sythetic opiod, the only thing in fact that HAS changed, is that the 7oh companies are now required to simply add a fda warning. So UNLESS reports start actually REALLY coming to light about ACTUAL PROVEN 7oh CAUSED deaths, then i HIGHLY DOUBT its gonna get fully pulled from the shelves if it all honestly. And i myself much would rather remain HAVING this option, but yet have them AGE RESTRICT it, and require limitations to things like, milligrams allowed per actual chewable/capsule/whatever tf the turn it into, not just "PER SERVING" as we all know a "SUGGESTED SERVING" can be so easily manipulated in areas like this that only pure ignorance would allow otherwise. And if anyone actually read all of that, and has anymore questions or concerns, or even just simply just wants someone to talk to with who has also been there and done that, im always willing and furthermore would LOVE to help or share my experiences and gained knowledges of the good, the bad, and the ugly with ANYONE wanting to listen! Trust me anyone reading this thinking YOU CANT DO IT, im laughing in your face only cuz i WAS SO MUCH THAT GUY YOULL NEVER HAVE A FN CLUE... THE THINGS IVE DONE/SEEN/LIVED THROUGH I myself still dont even feel worthy of taking credit for.. but im LEARNING how to better and more everyday i keep simply getting back up and just trying with everything i can. And now it's honesty become easy to stay off the hard crap. These smaller sythetic things yea are far more tempting and so easily obtainable that im def playing with fire. But i also DO HIGHLY plan on soon tapering totally off 7oh and rather than even considering going back to kratom going to try to just get my nurotin refilled and hope i can handle the pain enough to at the least stay doing good at my job. But this 7oh is far more simular to a opiate in my personal experiences with it then suboxone compares to opiates, id say 7oh by FAR outpowers suboxone or subutex anyday. And if that doesnt say enough to you then.. im not sure really how else to i guess. Lol sorry for my novel!
