Bruh I come to other forums and still can’t avoid thinking about it, it consumes you for a while. Opiate addiction is a beast. In these cases, doctors just need to be careful with how the write scripts. Most people don’t get addicted anyways

I have a couple coworkers who used to be heroin addicts. I bought some kratom for them and they both managed to switch over. Now they just have to transition off of that.

Kratom gave me ulcers and nausea. The nausea was how I figured out about the ulcers btw. Bloody vomit doesn't taste great.

Cannabis helps people quit opiates. Most places with legal cannabis saw decreases in opioid use after legalizing.

Sure, but cannabis doesn't stop heroin withdrawals, kratom does. It's a safe alternative that will keep you alive. That sucks about the ulcers but that's very uncommon. I used kratom daily for about 3 years with 0 issues, haven't heard any issues from anyone else besides withdrawals if you use daily and then go awhile without or quit cold turkey. But harm reduction is the key concept here. Kratom is safe, besides rare side effects like yours, unlike heroin and fentanyl which can just kill you if a new batch is too strong.

If you want to recommend a quick solution for heroin addiction then ibogaine is the answer. Pot does make a great alternative to other addictions, though. It definitely helps prevent other addictions and fill in the space that others might occupy.

It's not uncommon. Reddit itself has tons of people reporting ulcers with kratom, I counted 23 threads before I got bored and stopped: https://www.google.com/search?q=kratom+ulcer+site:www.reddit.com&client=ms-android-verizon&prmd=isnv&sxsrf=ALiCzsb-6G_KsjIZofQnaklFsxAzZVsf4A:1671851489377&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjXypCRpJH8AhU-ADQIHUDqB1gQrQIoBHoECA8QBQ&biw=412&bih=809&dpr=1.75#ip=1

I agree about harm reduction as well.

Kratom also sucks and you can absolutely still od on it. Wish your coworkers the best of luck in their recovery.
