Hey guys, first real post and while I thought about what I could contribute to the community I thought about Kratom, I am autistic, and as such I have spent a good portion of my life on the social reject team. over the years I have tried various ways to help me to function normally and to just generally enjoy social interaction. recently a curious little plant from south east Asia has caught my eye.
Kratom is a psychoactive plant indigenous to south east Asia that has long been used in the region for its analgesic and mood enhancing effects.
While the effects can vary wildly (I will be doing future posts about the subject of Kratom and its uses and effects), my personal experience with Kratom has shown it to be a sort of mixture between Alcohol and Cannabis, only much more subtle. While I mainly use it for my social anxiety, the recreational potential is there as well, for those just looking for a relaxed couple of hours. THIS IS BY NO MEANS A PARTY DRUG. The mood enhancing effects, while pronounced, are discreet and almost feel more natural than most mood altering substances that I have tried. I find that I will simply be smiling, while not euphoric or giddy, I feel pleasantly content.
I plan on posting a few more times on this subject, covering topics such as legality, health benefits and potential risks, common effects both positive and negative, personal experience reports, different strains, methods of consumption, etc. please comment with any suggestions, thoughts, feelings! I want to facilitate open dialogue.
