> I've used kratom for 10 years for pain management and it was my best option at the time.

Any weird side effects. My girlfriend and I tend to use Kratom for the mild stimulant effect.

The worst is ever done for me is make me nauseous enough to vomit, but I live in a state trying to ban all kratom now and the discourse around it is full of anecdotes of people claiming withdrawals as bad as heroin.

Now I’m not a big heroin user, but I’ve been mildly addicted to certain substances (nicotine, weed). I don’t think I’ve ever had withdrawals from Kratom or really felt any craving for it.

I’m really just hoping the busy-bodies don’t get their eyes on Kava.
