@michaelstobiersk It's misinformation like yours that gives Kratom a negative view by the uneducated. This herb is not any more addictive then caffeine/coffee and the same with any possible withdraw much like caffeine withdraw. If you abuse water (drink too much) that will kill you. Kratom has never cause not one death. Before making such a comment you should check the facts. Kratom is safer than any prescription pain medication or anxiety meds. And like any medication if you're taking it to get high you are abusing it. I have been using Kratom for well over a year to manage my back pain and never had any issues when I stopped taking it for several days or weeks other than the slow return of my back pain that prevents me for doing much of anything. Please educate yourself on Kratom before making such comments. Thank you
