Opioids Would kratom help ease meth cravings?

If you enjoy its effects then chances are that yes, it would reduce the cravings. Any sort of pleasurable or mind-occupying activity usually helps reduce withdrawal symptoms of a psychological nature.
Amphetamines do nothing specifically in terms of pharmacological action to reduce opioid withdrawal symptoms (apart from giving one energy, I suppose) but I have heard of a few quitting opiates with amphetamines, opting for a slightly superpowered version of themselves for cold turkey rather than mitigating symptoms with other depressants.

But basically, doing anything that keeps you and your mind off meth is good. If you're pleasantly high off kratom and don't think of meth as a result, then I'd say that's pretty damn good, but as I said, psychological symptoms (in my experience) subside to some extent with any pleasurable or engaging activity - exercise, a girlfriend, smoking weed, video games, jerking off, whatever. It's when you catch yourself going "Hmm, what should I do now" that the fiending begins.
 
I find this method of replacement 'therapy' for craving and addiction works a treat, though granted it's unhealthy. Stimulant use inadvertently helped me quit smoking as I never craved while high. The general shambolic day to day living when high also meant I never had the organisational skills to catch a bus in to town and buy nicotine.

Really not the best way to deal with cravings but yes, it will probably work.
 
Yes, its great for this, as something to use during high risk times, for me its to be used instead of alcahol on weekends cause alcohol is linked to my stim craving. I find i have no interest in stim or alcahol while on it
 
not IME but i find that smoking tons of weed will make the cravings go away, for any drug. Although others may experience it differently.
