The herb Kratom

[Ninanina]

Anyone tried this supposed miracle herb ?

[walpurgis]

Never heard of it. What does it do?

[Ninanina]

It is supposed to be very good for pain and can be either a stimulant or a sedative depending on dosage, apparently

[Audio Al]

Not a relative of Herb Alpert is it ?

[Lerxst]

Never heard of it. A quick google does suggest it may be more than just paracetemol though:

A few years ago I worked for a company that sold legal highs and hallucinogens wholesale, as well as marajuana seeds, books on how to grow it and everything needed to cultivate and smoke it. It was all technically legal to sell but morally questionable. We sold Kratom powder in bulk, and by all accounts it was bloody horrible stuff, anyone I spoke to about using it as a powder recreationally didn't have anything good to say.

So probably not as bad for you as scientology, check who runs Narconon..

Isn't that the stuff that renders Superman powerless?
