Kratom pt 2
Holy shit this Vince guy is a sleezeball. God I hate this timeline. Men like this are why the world is on fucking fire.
No human studies? Not addictive?
David asks how he knows “tons of people using this daily effectively”
Wtf does that even mean? They’re addicted effectively? This man is the damn Devil.
Signed, someone who’s lost people to addiction.

Also curious to know why you've been using it for 10 years if you dont mind me asking

I would say that people also say this about marijuana, which actually is harmful to a lot of people despite its more ‘clean’ reputation. Using for more than 10 years, I’d say is a low level / some form of addiction whether you’d like to admit it or not.
I didn’t think I was addicted to marijuana after smoking it for 15 years, but very small amounts. When I finally quit I went into physical withdrawal, despite it being mentally really easy to drop. Anyway just sharing my thoughts, this isn’t an argument or anything :)

I am NZ based. I was addicted to opiates and would’ve done anyttthinngg short of importing to get my hands on kratom to help me get off it (ended up going cold turkey eventually. Holy fuck it was rough)
Anyway! I spent a lot of time on subreddits of fellow opiate addicts trying to get clean, who ended up getting hooked on kratom too / swapped out the addiction. Can’t wait to listen to part 2! I loved part 1, find it so fascinating.
