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.
I got pretty into it (addicted?) for awhile. Consensus seems to be that it’s mostly useful for helping kick other addictions, which I’d agree with. It’s pretty mild compared to most other drugs, and you could conceivably treat it the same way you would caffeine. I.e something you can develop a dependency on that doesn’t really fuck you up. For the most part.
