I have been wanting to try this because My fav is opiates but I have stayed away from for almost three years....Is it a good idea or should I just look past maybe using kratom in fear that I may really get addicted to it?
I would personally be more careful about kratom serving as a big ass trigger than getting addicted to it itself. It's surprisingly easy to go from mild mind-altering substances straight back to your drug of choice. Tread lightly, buddy.
Is the effect alone worth it and also in terms of the best possible similarity to opiates besides opiates themselves? YES.
Is the risk worth it in terms of possibly getting back on opiates or getting addicted to Kratom itself or in general disrespecting it because its legal and therefore not dangerous. NO.
