"I’ve been taking kratom every day for 3 years. Every morning I take about 6 grams with my coffee and every afternoon 6 grams. Some days I take more depending on my stress load. I’ve found it beneficial in my life, but I am worried about long-term effects."

"I've used for 6 years. Currently use anywhere from 200-400 mg of extract a dose to get noticeable effects. My sweet spot is a dose of 200 mg of extract every 2 hours. The first 200 mg dose provides energy, and each subsequent dose slowly increases the euphoric/sedative effects. The highest dose taken in one 'session' (period of usage, not a daily user) has been 1,200 mg, consumed over an 8-hour period. Effects are often a very clear-headed, strong body-centric heavy feeling. Rarely causes me effects that are so strong I fall asleep. Have never experienced 'the wobbles' before. I usually spend $30 per container of extract (specifically the extract shot I take, which is 1,200 mg of extract in six 5 ml doses and is $27.)"

"Be aware! Don't be fooled by this opiate substitute. Kratom is a very sneaky and powerful drug. It is legal and easy to obtain, but that is the problem. I was using kratom for recreational use for many years and thought I had control, but when I wanted to stop, I couldn't. I had withdrawals and had to enter rehab for it. Be aware! If you are a drug addict, this is not a safe alternative. It is just another vice that will trick you and hold you hostage."

"I have suffered with severe Restless Leg Syndrome for years, nothing would help for very long. I also have chronic pain from arthritis. I decided to buy kratom from the Netherlands from a well-known company. My daughter also has chronic pain from internal injuries from surgery (another story) and decided to try it too. We made the tea when the powder (red vein kratom) arrived. We were meticulous about making and measuring, having watched many videos on YouTube. The smallest amount was used: half a teaspoon each, about 2 grams. Within half an hour, I began to have pain in my lower abdomen, and so did my daughter. Within minutes, my restless legs started jumping, we both experienced restlessness to the point of distraction. Then we felt very dizzy and disoriented. The pain grew, and I thought, how could this happen when it is supposed to help, not make it worse? Worst night of my life. Never again. Keep away from kratom. It is dangerous."

"DO NOT USE THIS!! My body became highly dependent on it, and doctors had to put me on a breathing machine and monitor me while I was detoxing. Detox is way worse than heroin!!! I repeat!! DO NOT USE THIS KRATOM."

"Kratom saved my life, sanity, and relationships. Be mindful because it can be addictive and cause euphoria."

"Does nothing. Zero. No euphoria. No relaxant properties. No muscle tension or pain relief. Just more snake oil."
