yea, i've taken kratom before, not for too long, it is a pain reliever, i think it was used as a treatment for opium addiction a long time ago. I'm not a doctor so you'd probably be better off checking with a doctor or specialist who knows about this type of stuff, but from my experience it may work, and would be no more addictive than any controlled substance pain killers such as vicodin, percoset, oxycontin, morphine, dilaudid, etc., probably less if anything. In my opinion Heroin is to methadone as Vicodin is to Kratom

Thanks. I have been doing quite a bit of research and there are some amazing stories out there as well as some warnings. Will try some in small dosage and see how it goes.

Kratom is grown only in thailand, and thailand is the only place its illegal, people chew the leaves to aleviate pain or make a concentrate tea. I've tried the concentrate tea 25x potentcy.... It doesnt really work well and it makes you a little nauseas. Poppy Pod tea works much better as a pain reliever.

Kratom works on par with tramadol, but no doc should have a problem perscribing you that

Yeah, I take Kratom twice daily for my chronic nerve and hip pains. I have 95% of the signs for MS but my doctors are relucktent to diagnose same. I have also done lots and lots of research on Kratom. It is known for being addictive if consumed every day for several years (2-3). In my case, my entire body is in pain at one time or another. If you ask me, I would risk the addiction if it meant less or no pain any day of the week and twice on sunday. I purchase my Kratom at www.sylantech.com. They are the best and very reasonable. The owner is a pain magnet as well and he sells Kratom to those in pain for the purpose of relieve, not for getting "high" He sells only one type of kratom that is the best for pain relieve.

Kratom is indiginous to several regions outside of Thailand and is also illegal in Malaysia (and a few other parts of the world). http://www.entheofarm.com has really good prices and fast shipping.
