That's true with EVERYTHING. If a person takes too many opiates, they get high. I take opiates and have for 20 years. I don't take them to get high though. Saying kratom helps more than opiates is subjective. It's like saying Tylenol is better for a headache than ibuprofen, it all depends on the person. Saying kratom isn't dangerous is like saying opiates aren't dangerous. It isn't dangerous if TAKEN PROPERLY. I know for a fact it's a powerful substance because the show "To catch a smuggler" received a 100 pound shipment of the stuff that was powder. While he did say that kratom is used to make a tea, it's also given to people who are in withdrawals from opiates. He also said while it is legal, it's ILLEGAL to export or import. There's lots of drugs that are wonderful if you take them like you should but to say that Kratom isn't dangerous is wrong. Too much of ANYTHING is dangerous.
