I'm a former heroin addict (9 years clean in August) but I also have severe fibro and can't even stand that long. I'm also job hunting after losing my last job because I went to the hospital (for psych reasons) and had to call off a whole week of work. I've read up and it seems like what I should get is red vein but I have no experience with kratom.
Big second on using capsules. You can get used to the powder, I'd mix it with a small amount of water and chug it then use orange juice or something as chaser. But the capsules are so much better and easier on your stomach.
