Have any of you heard of or tried kratom? I watched the documentary, [I]A Leaf of Faith, and immediately ordered a sample pack from a "reputable" online seller. Then, knowing this is an unregulated substance, wanting to research it, I watched several videos on YouTube about kratom withdrawals. It is touted as a benign substance from a coffee plant. I used one very small, less than recommended dose, and was able to get a lot done of things I had procrastinated. Taken in small dose like I used, it is a stimulant, helping with ADHD and thought processes. In a larger dose (which I will not do) said to be sedative. Kratom is legal to purchase at this time in the USA, but I'm thinkng it's not such a benign and harmless offering. I certainly don't want to, and and will not subject myself to withdrawals.
