Welcome to Saidit! I think you'll find it less purgey here :)

Also, thank you for keeping kratom on the radar, it's really great for pain without making you blotto.

what are the side effects of kratom if any?

Happy you're here.

Is it exclusively kratom or other Appalachian Herbs, whatever that may mean?

Also, do you know about laws and regions? For example, I'm Canadian and have no clue about a lot of the laws and stuff here. I hope you'll be sharing good information you come across with informed opinions, and now and then maybe you could do an "Kratom Regional FYI" type thing, for various regions or various herbs. The dynamics of SaidIt have evolved over time. Looking at https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/saidit.net it looks like it's only the US, UK, and Canada but not long ago many across Europe and down under were on board.

Personally, I would like to hear more about alternative solutions. There's a lot of stress and pain and anxiety out there and many folks need better and affordable alternatives to Big Pharma and hard drugs.

I'd also like to hear more about fighting misconceptions and misinformation and wrong practices. For example, would kratom be good or bad and why for any or all of these?: 1) stress 2) toothache 3) pets 4) rashes 5) cooking 6) recreational 7) mixing with other substances 8) etc.

I have other herbs as well! You actually have to type speciosa in teh search bar to find the kratom. I'm no lawyer or doctor.

But as far as I know canada is pretty legal for kratom and other herbs. I have a few customers in canada. They say ordering from the US is cheaper even with the shipping cost.

Definitely think someone needs to get on board with fighting the misconceptions. But AKA is struggling just to keep it legal.
