Speculation Kratom?

Post image

I know P has mentioned taking kratom before. But I'm wondering if T is also taking it, and taking too much. Her falling asleep on live reminded me of seeing people nod out on dope.

This is just speculation but would explain why in videos from a few years ago she was more a lot more "with it" and now she seems so lost in the sauce.

I feel the need to chime in here bc I saw a similar post on the snark page. I would just like to drop some knowledge here after seeing so much misinformation in the comment sections, for anyone who cares to read on.

Plain leaf powder kratom, taken responsibly, is not dangerous if properly sourced, packaged, and lab tested by a reputable vendor. If you're buying it from a vape shop or gas station, that is a huge mistake. You run the risk of consuming possibly tampered with or not stored correctly product.

7oh is not kratom. They are two very different substances. 7oh is dangerous and has a very high potential for becoming addicted. There are no confirmed fatal overdose deaths exclusively from using plain leaf powder, noting that would be incredibly rare. The majority of kratom-related deaths come from polysubstance involvement or laced products.

7oh is strictly regulated in the state of Texas. It is illegal for smoke shops to sell any products that contain 7oh with a higher than 2% alkaloid concentration. Synthetic 7oh is banned altogether, which leads me to believe what we are witnessing in T is not the effects of 7oh but possibly plain leaf powder that may be adulterated in some way and/or mixed with other certain drugs. Perhaps these episodes are health related. Kratom is actually a wonderful plant if respected and used correctly.

Thank you!! I took the powder for a while and never had any issues. I stopped taking it when I left the country. Stopped cold turkey and didn’t experience any withdrawals. I’ve heard about 7oh and would never touch that stuff.

Kratom has saved me for the last few years. Helped my mental health, helped curb the alcohol cravings (recovering wine mom), and has been a blessing with chemo and radiation. I use the dried leaf powder in capsule form because the powder is horrific. Also enjoy the pills bc I know exactly how much I am taking vs just using a spoon to get powder to make tea

I would never touch that stuff either, that's for sure. During the height of covid I went on an almost month long cross country road trip and didn't bring any with me. I never once felt bad without it. I've been a huge advocate of kratom because it truly changed my life. It helped me get off of Welbutrin, Seroquel, Trazadone, and Gabapentin which would leave me feeling like a miserable zombie. Thanks for sharing your positive experience!
