Anybody ever try kratom?

I recently discovered this stuff through a friend and if you have trouble with focus, mood, anxiety, physical pain, this stuff can be helpful. It looks like alfalfa powder and it's very bitter. So I mix it into like heated lemonade at the moment because that's all I've got. But u can buy the capsules to put it in and take it that way if the taste is too gross. If they don't sell it in your city then I guess u can find it online. There's different strains that are upper and more downer. A good strain is maeng da I think it's called. I took some before the gym today and my form was better, I had more endurance, allows u to be in present moment, I had no self consciousness, anxiety. Often when I go the gym I struggle to focus on what I'm trying to do and it's frustrating. I don't think I want to go the gym without now lol! It wasn't too expensive, but it just depends how much u take and use.

I think it's illegal where I live... shame.

Anyway I've read a lot of positive things on Kratom in regards to its painkiller and antidepressant/anti-anxiety properties.
It seems to work for quitting strong opioids too for some people.

I was curious to know... is constipation a problem with it? Does tolerance develop? How much do the effects last?

I have. The initial effects were sedating like a mild opiate buzz that turned into a feeling like a stimulant overdose, specifically nicotine, while having the flu. The other two people who have used it that I was regularly around at the time had two entirely different experiences with it yet. One was more of a traditional hallucinogenic experience although nothing severe, the other person felt calm.

I think if you take large doses frequently it can cause some withdrawal if u quit. Flu like symptoms. It hasn't given me constipation but I did get a bit nauseous because I had nothing on my stomach. Supposedly this goes away if u use it regularly. As soon as I ate something I was fine. Yes people use it in place of opiates or to manage being off opiates. I took it once a day last couple days and really don't feel the need to keep doing more. Dosing is important because if u take a smaller amount it gives a bit of stimulant effect but in large dose it will make u sleepy. I suspect they are trying to make it illegal because it hurts big pharma. If you can manage those conditions naturally without having to go through the hassle of having insurance and the pain of dealing with doctors and prescriptions. Well they can't have that lol!

It is available online, does this still make it illegal to get in the mail? Like is it only if u are caught with it or will they intercept the package? Since I live Denver they have this store called Clean Kratom. It's such a cute little shop. It had quite the flow of customers. It looked like a doctors waiting room before u go up to the counter. They have like a bunch of different strains. It may get banned here too though. Eventually.
