Kratom or Codeine/Dihydrocodeine. Is Kratom any better?

[HorseyP]

I've been considering the idea of obtaining some Kratom. I'm wondering if it is any better than DHC/codeine. I have experience with heroin and oxycodone but currently no tolerance.

Is kratom even worth my while?

Kratom is fucking bitching if you get good stuff and have limited opiate tolerance. My friends seem to like it too. If you get bad stuff....welll its worse than getting bad weed cause you won't feel shit.

i have almost exactly the same question - im interested in what dihydrocodeine/codeine/other lightweight painmeds etc. users think about kratom and how much theyve dosed.

i use codeine daily (160mg-240mg 2-3 times a day from 8/500 co-co CWE) and i get somewhat high every time. tried kratom 15 extract (supposedly equal to max. ~50g of leaf powder). well i didnt feel anything, it mightve well been crappy kratom and if so i understand. but then again when reading about kratom on this forum there are those who say that kratom is great and very good so therefore it will be illegal soon so use it while you can when others claim that its not worth it because the effects are barely noticeable and dont compare to any opiate high and its barely suitable for holding you over while you cant get hydros/percs/codeine/dhc/other lightweight opiates.

I haven't indulged in opiates for many years now but I do enjoy kratom (opioid, am I being a pedant?) on a pretty much daily basis. For me 25g decent plain leaf is prefereable to 500mg codeiene or 300mg DHC.

Oh and kratom is quite a different buzz. Stimulating as well as sedating so not very good for sleep.
