I remember one of Caleb Hammer’s guests talked about this. Sounds like some real nasty stuff the way he was hooked on it.
It’s crazy what is legalized and what isn’t in this day and age. Was just talking this over with a coworker yesterday.
Opioids, and Kratom, as it’s similar, work great against a variety of mental problems for a short time. I believe some opioids and tianeptine, which is not that different, are even prescribed against depression occasionally. The “sweet spot” is not the big high, but an ever so mildly euphoric state, as from “softer” opioid painkillers.
Regarding painkiller opioids at moderate medical doses, I found the time for which it works to be about 6 months. Then, you’d really have to up the dose significantly or stop immediately.
Even if you do stop then, it’s the “small hell” of withdrawal already, it can take weeks and months to be your former self with all the same problems again, and having to take it medically will be an issue for years to come.
The system really needs to get it together, diagnose and treat people. Self medication doesn’t work out that well.
Kratom
Yeah I’m not watching this video, but the leap to assuming kratom is going to be a natural cure for ADHD is wider than the Grand Canyon
Lol I thought it was at least going to be something like mephedrone.
I have ADHD and I tried swallowing a couple bottles of kratom to feel something and I felt nothing at all. I have a highly addictive personality, and have been addicted to some stupid things… I don’t know how anyone could get addicted to that stuff though.
my experiences are similar. I find this guys channel is pretty legit but this video made me wonder.
People have different reactions to different substances.
I sweart there must be genes or something for addiciton. My wife has a lot of medical issues and both of our experience with opiates is they don’t really seem to work and have no idea why people get addicted. When you have surgery they will like allow you to pee when the pain untreated would not allow it but it makes you feel crappy in tandem with any pain relief. We tried kratom and bought a fairly large amount. Ugh using it up sucked. Because its aweful to drink. Neither one of us saw much effect unless we had some alcohol with it and even then it was hard to say if it was not like psychological. We actually would love to try marijuana with her but its a large expense especially if your skeptical about it working and only want to try it out without committing to taking it regularly. Our society is screwy.
