I do understand the desperate need to escape pain and many are forced to take drugs just to stay sane and get relief. Living with pain 24/7 is something which unless you have lived it, as I did a few years ago, you would not understand. I would have sold my soul to the devil to be pain free for just a few minutes. Yet after researching about Kratom I read that it is used to get folks off of opiates and like opiates it is addictive, yet is this a Big Pharm scare tactic? Perhaps someday I will be at a pain level again that it won't matter if it is addictive or not, but now am managing to deal will mild to moderate current health issues. . I have even had to give up my Nsaids because of climbing blood pressure, and have accepted living a life with a certain amount of pain, after all I'm turning 70 the end of this year. I am experimenting with CBD oil because I have not read of usage side effects that worry me. Like me many have discovered CBD does have various benefits, for me if I am getting pain relief it is mild, yet love the calming effect it has.

@gardeningjunkie: "Yet after researching about Kratom I read that it is used to get folks off of opiates and like opiates it is addictive, yet is this a Big Pharm scare tactic?" ASK YOURSELF THIS: What happens to rehab centers, large parts of the entire pharmaceutical industry if there is a relatively cheap alternative. OF COURSE Scott Gottlieb would love you to think it is an OPIATE, and addictive. Who lobby's him the hardest?
Watch the movie on NFLX, Leaf of Faith and then ask the same questions. I do not need to take it, and if I don't have pain, I don't take it.
Do some people get mildly addicted? Probably. There is something called STEM that you can take to ease off Kratom, but I am not interested in easing off something that has allowed me to live opiate free and relatively pain free.
If you are on Facebook there are many groups about Kratom, even Ladies of Kratom. You will learn a lot by keeping an open mind and not listening to our government like they were all knowing. They have deliberately disregarded real science to spout junk science to help the Pharma industry. JMO
