If this was just an aroma, that would be different. I would ask Doc Smith about this. ginnie

I have had RSD for ten years. I have quit A rather high dosage of Morphine, both the Long Acting & the Immediate Release 3 times in 10 years. Each time I quit Cold Turkey & was totally off Morphine and any narcotics for about 12 months. Each time I began again as Post- Surgical Care. I tried a 4th time, but this time I used Kratom.
In my opinion, I would go cold turkey ANY DAY before I took a single Kratom. I did much research & spoke to many who "Loved It". I guess if you like feeling "High" and "Stoned" all the time, then yes, Kratom may be for you, but I personally don't take the Opiates for a "stoned" feeling AND I never feel "High" from the Morphine Long Acting.
I agree with you - just because it is from "Nature" it is ok. Well, where do people think Heroin originates ... Poppy - Nature.
My advice, based on MY personal experience is that Kratom is much more of a "drug" that people would become mentally dependent on simply for the "High". I am no light-weight when it comes to drug tolerance, like I've said, I've taken Morphine and Fentanyl for years, off & on. I will NEVER touch Kratom again.
That is my personal experience, and your advice to Check it Out Thoroughly is Great Advice; however some like that "High" Feeling. I don't. I just want my pain to go away.
I Agree with your advice 100% - but even then it may not be what is best for each individual.
