Kratom - Do you take?

[Snook]

I follow Mark Smelly Bell on social media and podcasts. He's the brother of Chris Bell, who directed "Leaf of Faith" and both are huge advocates of kratom. I've thought about dabbling with kratom on several occasions when I've been in a rut. But the thought of addiction and dependence has held me back. I've been down that road before and don't want to go back there. What are your thoughts on the addictive traits of kratom? Is it something you can cycle through with minimal side effects?

Well, the friend who introduced me to Kratom stopped taking it as he thought it was becoming addictive and was able to do so easily. He is someone who gets addicted to things easily.

Now, I only take it before a bike ride or if I need to concentrate for hours and don't want to worry about food. I don't take it every bike ride, but maybe once a week. Luckily the taste is so awful, there is no joy in taking it. Certainly works.

I take the Green Maeng Da, around 1/2 tsp and it feels pretty natural and seamless. 1 tsp to really kick it up. My friend was doing about 1 tblspn which for me was like banging lines!
