As I understand it, it's been beneficial in getting many folks off opioids thanks to it's molecular
similarity to the opioid molecule. It apparently fits into the same receptors.
Having seen the story of the salmonella outbreak, use caution when selecting a supplier.
A good source of info on the plant is erowid.org

(7,884 posts)amazing. I used to have to take medication but that was getting to be an issue. I'd heard about Kratom so I gave it a try. I haven't had to take anything else since.
