Passing this on because it is the best summary of the issues surrounding #Kratom I've seen to date...
"Legal Morphine’— The Rise of Kratom and 7-OH in the US"
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/legal-morphine-rise-kratom-and-7-oh-us-2025a1000cco
Key warning is 
avoid purified "7-OH" products. 
You CAN get too much of a good thing!
"The most well-studied compounds in kratom are #mitragynine and 7-OH... At low doses, mitragynine’s mixed receptor profile (adrenergic, serotonergic, dopaminergic) yields mild stimulant and mood-boosting effects."
"By contrast, concentrated 7-OH preparations are 30-40 times more potent at opioid receptors and produce rapid-onset analgesia, euphoria, respiratory depression, and classic #Opioid -type #withdrawal. As previously reported by Medscape Medical News, research has shown that 7-OH (formerly known as (7-HMG) has high abuse potential and may also increase the intake of other #opiates."

Earlier this year one of my masto peeps got me onto a podcast called Search Engine. And I'm so grateful.
It's a great example of genuinely thoughtful journalism. Every episode I've listened to has been a deep dive into nuance and subtlety. They work through the shades of grey, because nothing is ever black and white.

Today I'm learning about a non-prohibited opioid sold in vape shops.
I wish more people who dealt with chronic pain knew about #kratom . While admittedly I mostly take it recreationally, today it is a complete godsend probably reducing the extreme pain in my knees/legs by over 50% at medicinal levels.
It is the closest you can come to opiate levels of pain relief without near as much of the overdose or addiction fears (anything mind altering can be addicting even if not physically), and using it purely for those purposes today I'm struck by how effective it is
I don't normally talk about this much, but I'm a HUGE advocate of #kratom, a plant used to reduce pain, which is under legal fire in several states right now, including NC. As someone with fibromyalgia, kratom has helped me manage pain in my life that would be otherwise completely crippling (sometimes to the point of being immobilizing). We need to keep kratom legal, and we need to keep it safe. #disability #chronicpain #activism
Used to battle #chronicpain or opioid addiction, the supplement #kratom is banned in several states. Does it work? Is it safe? A pharmacologist explains the controversy and sorts through the promises, realities and risks of this product sold widely in gas stations and convenience stores.

I take kratom daily for my chronic pain. Just for fun, my nurse practitioner ordered a full toxicology screen of my urine to see if anything showed up. Mitragynine (of course) and *diphenhydramine*!? Anyone know of (Canadian source) kratom laced with Benadryl? Seems plausible...
A bit too high in the Charlotte airport, God's sleepiest soldier needs a nap after waking up at 4:45 this morning and taking my leftover #kratom on a last minute whim. Roanoke, I can't be back soon enough.
My morning vitality drink - makes me feel better in so many ways: matcha, 3 g white kratom, 5 g creatine, 10 g collagen powder, 15 g super greens. With 1 cap berberine and 2 caps acetyl L-carnitine (ALCAR). Goes down kinda gross, but sets me up for a super duper day. (Shedding a few belly pounds too, ehhh!)

“Recent evidence has shown that high doses do not exert respiratory depression."
"It has also emerged that kratom and its alkaloids exert gastroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, antimutagen, and anticancer actions."
“Some evidence has also suggested that kratom possesses a favorable lipid profile and might be protective against metabolic syndrome, coronary heart, or cerebrovascular disease.”
