there's not enough people that are saying it's complicated, right, it's not that simple people kind of are dismissive of the Dea and the government when you know you're trying to justify something that makes you feel better.
Kratom - a herb from South Asia that’s sparking debate in the addiction recovery community. In this episode of 'Law and Disorder - Addiction - Recovery', hosts Tim and Joe dive into the complexities surrounding this controversial substance. Available in many gas stations and party stores, Kratom is often touted as a way to ease off opioids. But is it really a safe alternative? Tim and Joe don’t hold back.
They discuss their personal experiences with Kratom, shedding light on its potential benefits and serious drawbacks. Tim shares how Kratom helped him transition off Suboxone, but he found kicking Kratom itself harder than heroin. Joe recounts using Kratom for back pain relief, only to find himself dependent on it. The episode also tackles the legal rollercoaster Kratom has been on. While legal in most U.S. states, it’s banned in countries like Denmark and New Zealand.
The DEA’s attempt to classify it as a Schedule 1 drug was halted, but the debate rages on. Tim and Joe compare Kratom with other recovery options like drug courts, Narcotics Anonymous, and Vivitrol. They stress that recovery isn’t one-size-fits-all; what works for one person might not work for another. Their candid discussion aims to provide listeners with a balanced view, encouraging them to seek professional advice and do thorough research before considering Kratom.
If you’re curious about Kratom’s role in addiction recovery or grappling with its use yourself, this episode offers a raw and real perspective that’s both informative and thought-provoking.
