Saidit's 'free speech' is under attack from the new admin, who is of course a tranny. Check the moderation logs and see individual user posts to see what is being removed and ask yourself "is this level of censorship in line with saidit's rules, or are they serving a personal agenda'.

I have heard of it repeatedly but never tried it. There was actually a kratom sub on saidit that was quite active a couple years ago, that was how I learned about it. Is it addictive, are there withdrawals? (compared to caffeine)

my reply to jason, with best source link

There is a ton of conflicting information and claims about kratom. I heard about it a few years ago and read many of those. I haven't found it to be addicting at all, and it's been a great caffeine alternative and/or booster for me.

Narcotics addicts claim to be able to stay off the drugs with very large amounts of kratom, and the specific claim is that the large amounts have a narcotic effect, which is opposite the effects of small amounts. (3.5 grams/rounded half tablespoon for me) I don't know if this is true, and I haven't taken large amounts.

I also don't use it everyday, more like 2-4 times per week. I have black tea most days, and coffee 2-4 times per week. The kratom is useful when I need to be more awake or alert, not as an everyday thing like caffeine. Don't want to develop a tolerance, and am cautious about excess reliance on stimulants.

See my other reply for more details.
