- Kratom, sometimes referred to as “gas station heroin,” is an herb with opioid- and stimulant-like effects.
- It can be fatal in very high doses but is not subject to much federal regulation.
- So states and cities have been banning kratom sales or enacting rules and restrictions.
As an aside, I’m pissed about Tia. The sulfate especially worked wonders on my anxiety and depression with no major side effects.
it being in the grey market (due to shitty politics) instead of being recognized like other countries as legitimate medicine leading to it’s abuse is a real problem.
All I hear about is the side effects and it sounds like a drug id really like so I avoid it like crazy, like never tried it crazy. And I have tried several questionable things.
Those side effects arent the ‘norm’ though. They are a result of long term high dose usage. (Plus gas station quality control)
Using proper dosage (and legit formula not cut with anything else) side effects are potentially no worse than any other drug/ tricyclic antidepressant.
Aren’t being addicting and easy to abuse properties of the tricyclic antidepressants and the reason they’re rarely prescribed nowadays?
