Health - A great, valid argument to keep kratom legal

[Balzafire]

If one clicks on the heading "views" just under and to the right of the pinned threads in the kratom forum, they will learn the most viewed thread is "Kratom to help quit opiates".
That should make anyone think hard before making such a helpful plant harder to access.
And swim is happy that so many people have evidently used kratom for that purpose.
It would be unwise of any government to remove such a useful natural remedy from ready access.

After almost 2 years of daily use, swim has found many benefits of Kratom. This applies to low dosage usage for its energy enhancment and slight euphoric/stimulating effects.
1)Cures IBS (chronic diarrhea)
2)Swim no longer desires to drink alchohol, but can have a drink or two and leave it alone, where before it always lead to excess.
3)a fine analgesic - working hard without the normal pains.
4) ability to quit with very little withdrawal. Using the same dose for the entire time, no tolerance build up.

ok, no tolerance build up... but what happens when you stop taking it? -DICK

As I said in #4 very little withdrawal

a bit edgy, slight depression but manageable for about 2 days. No cravings thereafter.
Some people claim the feel like shit, I believe that it is because the use it in high doses, which is an entirely different effect on the body, as it act more as a narcotic. Swims dose was 2 level tea spoons of good quality Thai.
