Last year I became aware of that stuff, when a resolution came to the floor of our state political convention concerning it, from a lady I’ve know for decades, in our church. She suffers from severe hip and back pain as well as fibromyalgia. She had been on oxy...something for years and was trying to get weaned off. According to her, she’s been off the pain meds now for 6months has no issues with the fibromyalgia or anxiety. She takes that stuff 3 times a day, at a cost of about 3 dollars/day.

Needless to say she is a huge advocate. The more studies I read,the more I am convinced it is the next “aspirin”.

I’ve always been skeptical of the influence of big pharma on the FDA. Reading the actual science on it has made me an advocate.

However, I don’t think it would be a good idea to fly with it. You can read the studies for yourself here: American Kratom Association - Science
